## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2020\-2025 Aviator, and Explorer vehicles. The switch for the easy\-entry second\-row outer seats may bind or stick, resulting in the seats unlatching, folding, or sliding unexpectedly while driving.


## What can happen

A seat that moves unexpectedly may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing their risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the second\-row seat switch, and replace the bezel around the switch as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 7, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S67.
