ISSUE
Some 2006-2008 Explorer, Mountaineer and 2007-2008 Sport Trac vehicles built before 7/1/2007 may exhibit a loose outside seat cushion shield. A new bracket was developed to prevent the outside cushion shield from losing retention to the seat base.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Inspect for a retention bracket. (Figure 1)
a. If retention bracket is present do not continue with this TSB.
b. If no retention bracket is present proceed to Step 2.
2. Position the driver and passenger seats rearward.
3. Install the new retention bracket over the seat base wire support. (Figure 2)
4. Align the retention bracket over the cushion side shield spring clip mounting boss hole and attach the cushion side shield. (Figure 2)
NOTE
DO NOT REPLACE THE OUTSIDE CUSHION SHIELD IF THE FRONT SPRING CLIP IS LOOSE, AS THE NEW BRACKET AND SCREW WILL PROVIDE THE PROPER RETENTION.
