Description of the problem	I had received a letter of recall of my back row seat latch do to corrosion. I had taken my van in to be repaired they informed me that they would have to order the parts which took 2 weeks upon returning they informed me they need another part they forgot to order so i waited for my call back again.. Within 2 months time i returned to have it worked on that is when they had told me it had begun to corrode n that they couldn't install the parts i asked them about the situation further & if it was safe to drive they had said yes & handed me my keys so upon leaving the dealership i had stopped for food on my way home i smelt burnt rubber then a thudding noise i had pulled over to check it out luckily i was to close to a family members house a piece had fallen off n was rubbing on my tire my tires had almost caught fire when luckily i had gotten the baby out before anything had happened the next day a mechanic had informed me a hole was burnt threw the floor where the wheel wells were n the tires almost caught fire he said he could weld the parts so frenchies ford could fix what they had to fix .. The next day he informed me he had looked up the parts n came across this website stating it had been recalled i had told him what happened & informed me to take legal matters due to faulty parts . Please don't allow this to happen to anyone elts the thought of my baby being in the back seat while it could have caught fire is terrifying i wouldn't want to hear of it happening to another under the same circumstances especially a child . & now that there's a hole in the floor i'm uncertain what to do i haven't drove it since & quite honestly i'm afraid to .. P. S is this covered? Whose @ fault? What can be done?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
