CARS.COM

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 700 model-year 2017 Ford Focus cars built from June 7 to June 12, 2017, at the automaker’s Michigan Assembly Plant

The Problem: A seatback with inadequate weld penetration between the outboard pivot bracket and the pivot nut joint may have reduced strength, increasing the risk of an injury in a crash. Ford said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with the issue.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace for free the second-row left-side seatback frame if an inadequate weld is identified.

What Owners Should Do: Ford did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 for more information.
