- What it can cause
- An improperly secured seat may not adequately restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and tighten, or replace the front seat bolts as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 26, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S74. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 9, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.
How this campaign compares
At 2,276 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,880 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the seats 51 times before this, most recently in July 2026 as 26V470000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 126 complaints with NHTSA, 116 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2025, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V689000 (structure), 26V653000 (electrical system), 26V578000 (fuel system, gasoline), 26V577000 (suspension).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on October 6, 2026 as campaign 26V655000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
