Recall information provided by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Component not known
03V459
Certain minivans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." During testing, a third row bench floor-to-seat latch released before the strength requirement was met. If the latches on the second or third row seats of the vehicle release in a crash, the potential for occupant injury is increased.
Dealers will replace the lower seat-to-floor latches on the second and third row of seats. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during December 2003. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392- 3673.
