Safety recall for back seat

[Flexpedition]

"Less than 1% of the affected vehicle population is expected to require seat frame replacement."


From the above link in post 8, one could see for themselves rather easily if their vehicle is affected.

I'm perplexed though. If this J-bracket isn't present in one or both seat track RAILS, that the fix is to install a new seat FRAME? What does one have to do with the other?

edit - ehh, maybe it makes sense. the rails are part of the seat, not the thingy in the floorboard that I call a rail.

Looks to be welded to ther bottom of ther seat frame.

I took mine in for a separate issue and asked about it and told them it was a notice on my fordpass app. They looked up my vin amd saw it was an affected vehicle so made an appt to drop off.

I took mine in last month with an appointment and they checked it while I waited. I had some other service bulletin that they dealt with at the same time. I was in and out in just over an hour.

BTW, my seat checked out ok.

I took my expy for recall inspection and they took 45mins to confirm that it fine and does not need any fix.

This is only second row bench, correct?

Ford is allowing 0.2 hours of labor time to inspect the seats, to determine if the j-channel brackets are missing: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2018/RCMN-18V805-0711.pdf

12 minutes to inspect, at relaxed book hours... Easier to check it yourself?

They looked at mine while I had my oil change done and winter tires mounted. They said my seat looks fine. I'm happy, as I have my 2yo and 4yo sitting in the 2nd row.

Is this recall for second row captain chairs or second row bench? Thanks...
