What is wrong: The wire harness for the power lumbar feature on the seat is underneath the front seat cushion support wires. The support wires on the driver seat can contact and damage the insulation harness resulting in a high resistance electrical short through the support wires.
Risk: Consequence of defect: over heating of the support wires could result, and melting, smoke, or possible igntion of the surrounding materials could occur.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the seats on the affected vehicles. If no damage is found, the driver seat wire harness will be covered with a protective convolute tubing, wrapped with electrical tape and the harness will be rerouted. If damage is found, the wire harness will be replaced.

While driving my seat recliner bolts broke from the seat frame causing the seat to recline all the way to the back seat in my extended cab. I was able to not lose control of my truck thankfully however I have it temporarily fixed with a bolt stuck through it to keep it from reclining. Upon calling ford they told me that even though I found a recall for this issue; it however did not affect my VIN #. I believe this is a safety issue and should be addressed. Upon speaking with ford directly for replacement parts to fix it, I was told the parts/bolts only come in a big quantity pack and would be almost $200 but I would only need one or two bolts to fix it. This is ridiculous and should be handled by the dealer free of charge and included as a recall due to the safety hazard this could have posed to myself and other citizens driving!
