Ford Motor Company is recalling 19 units of the 2023 Ford Edge and 2023 Lincoln Nautilus because the welding on the child seat tether anchors may be insufficient. Specifically, the tether wire welds on the left-side seat back frame of the second row might not be strong enough to hold a child seat during an accident. Dealers will replace the affected seat back frame free of charge to ensure the safety system works as intended. Owners were notified by mail starting May 11, 2023.
If the tether welds fail during a crash, the child seat may not be properly restrained. This failure can result in the child being thrown forward or the seat becoming loose, significantly increasing the risk of injury to a child passenger.
Free replacement of the second-row left-side seat back frame.
