The 1996 Ford F-150 has two recalls, the more serious being seat recliner bolts that can loosen and fracture, causing the seatback to collapse backward without warning and potentially causing the driver to lose control.
The second recall involves certain aftermarket replacement corner lamps, turn signals, and headlights that lack the required amber side reflectors, making the vehicle less visible to other drivers and raising the risk of a collision.
