Narrative

The contact owns a 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the second-row rear seats folded independently while the contact’s daughter was seated in the second-row seats. The failure caused bruises on the child's face and arms on several occasions. Medical attention was not sought. The contact stated that while the child safety seat was strapped into the second-row seats, the seat independently unlatched and became unsecured. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Hagerstown Ford (1714 Massey Blvd, Hagerstown, MD 21740) for a second opinion, where it was diagnosed, and both second-row seats failed a safety inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon further investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V451000 (Seats); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.
