ISSUE

The front seat back recliner lever may become bent on Sport seats. This condition generally occurs when the customer puts weight on the lever upon entering/exiting the vehicle.


ACTION

Replace the seat back lever with a more robust lever design that has an added rib and flange to reduce the possibility of bending. Refer to the appropriate Explorer/Mountaineer Workshop Manual, Section 501-10 for installation details.
