Ford Recalls 388,000 Aviator and Explorer SUVs in U.S. Over Stuck Second-Row Seat Switch Safety Risk

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 388,000 vehicles in the United States, including 2020–2027 Aviator models and 2020–2026 Explorer models. The recall involves the easy-entry switch for the second-row outboard seats, which may become stuck, causing the seat to unexpectedly unlock, recline, or slide during vehicle operation or in a crash. This could compromise effective occupant restraint and increase the risk of injury. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall on July 18.
