Looks like the early adopters in the 2018s dodged this one...which is unusual, ha!

Sounds like it also only applies to front seats with a manual recline lever, so power operated recline isn't included. Sounds like XL and XLT models would be affected.

The 2018 Ford Expedition was the subject of six safety recalls. The 2019 and 2020 Expeditions are the subject of one safety recall (so far....).

Sure seems like a testament to the lack of Ford’s concern for quality and safety in its vehicles.

The 2018 Camry has 4

The 2018 E-class has 9.

You’re right, neither Toyota or Mercedes know anything about quality. Clearly recalls equal crappy build quality.

And the 2015 Tahoe (first year of the current gen) has 13.

And Koenigsegg recalled an Agera in 2014...just one. Which constituted 100% of the Ageras they sold in the US that year. What a piece of crap that must be. Haha!

I'm just glad they do these recalls n get the vehicles corrected.....

I said (and still mean) that the safety recalls show a lack of concern for quality and safety. And that applies to any manufacturer - especially with basic technology such as a seat recliner mechanism.

It’s funny that you mention the Tahoe - I bought a new 2015 Ford Expedition Limited 4x4 (my first Ford), instead of a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, due to the numerous safety recalls for the Tahoe and the smaller third row seating area.

Seat COULD snap back if a fat enough occupant crashed the truck hard enough at a fast enough speed???

Hardly seems like a relevant issue, just lawsuit cya stuff...oh wait, never mind --- FORD DRIVERS!!!

Actually, scratch that, it doesn't even make sense... you'd only be thrown against your seat back with extreme g's during a rear end collision, in which case you WANT the damn thing to snap back if you get hit hard enough (like the seat equivalent of a crumple zone)

Unless someone is sitting behind you (like a child) and then they get crushed. It’s actually a legitimate issue for many rear-end collisions, especially higher speed ones. https://carseatblog.com/38404/collapsing-seat-backs-what-can-you-do/
