Villager V6-201 3.3L SOHC VIN T SFI (1999)
Seat Latch: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 99V056001: Seat Track Latch Defect
Vehicle Description:
Mini vans. The affected vehicles may have a second row right hand side captain chair that has inadequate lubrication of the easy entry and exit latch
system. In some cases, the actuator spring in the latch could deform after repeated use, causing the latch to remain in the unlatched position. If this
occurs, the seat will slide freely on the seat track and the springs on the track will move the seat to the easy entry position toward the front of the vehicle.
An unlatched seat track could result in an increased risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash. Dealers will replace the seat track for the second row
right hand side captain's chair, which includes the easy entry and exit latch mechanism. Owner notification began May 17, 1999. Owners who take their
vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at
1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
