Component | SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | I believe the new change to the mid-model f-150 supercrew's rear seat, by adding the head restraint is a great idea and should be retrofitted into the older models which were not equipped with those restraints. Sitting at the height in which the seats are constructed can (and does) result in the head striking the rear window upon acceleration and when whipped back in a sudden braking incident. To prevent any form of litigation from an accident ford mo. Co. Should issue a recall and ammend the situation. *ak |
