1993 FORD ESCORT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1993 Ford Escort has 2 recalls, both concerning the same defect: the driver's seat track can fail to lock into position at certain mid-range adjustments, allowing the seat to shift forward or backward in a crash and reducing protection for the driver. When the seat is set near the middle of its adjustment range, the locking mechanism may not fully engage, leaving the seat free to move under the forces of a collision. This affects the driver's position relative to the steering wheel, airbag, and seatbelt, all of which are designed to work with the seat held firmly in place.
