Ford Recalls One Million Vehicles for Incomplete Owner's Manual

•    Ford is recalling nearly one million SUVs and pickups because of incomplete information in the owner's manual. Auto123 has the details.

There’s a positive way to spin the latest Ford recall just announced. Yes another Ford recall. Except that this time the issue is not linked to a problem affecting the vehicles themselves.

The problem this time is that information is missing from the owner's manuals of the affected vehicles, specifically concerning the head restraints. 

The recall affects 2018-2023 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs equipped with third-row seats. Other modles impacted are the 2019-2023 F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 and F-600 Super Duty pickup trucks in crew cab or regular cab configurations, equipped with a front bench seat that can accommodate three occupants. In all, 979,797 vehicles are covered.

Missing from the owner's manual are instructions on how to adjust and remove these headrests, which could increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident. Ford’s fix is to send owners an appendix for the manual containing this information. The manufacturer will start informing owners on July 10.
