I CALLED FORD DEALER I PURCHASED FROM THEY ADVISED TO HAVE IT FIXED AT LOCAL DEALER DUE TO 200 MILE DRIVE TO THEM. I TOOK TO ALTON BLAKELY FORD SALES AND SERVICE SOMERSET KY FOR REPAIR AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. THE SEAT IS NOT WORN IT LOOKS NEW! THE TRUCK LOOKS AND RUNS PERFECT, THE SEAT FRAME IS PROBLEM! I WEIGH 235LBS AND 6 FOOT? THE SEAT IS BROKEN TO APPOINT THAT I DON'T TRUST WEARING SHOULDER SEAT BELT DUE TO WHEN SEAT FALLS BACK I CAN'T PULL MYSELF UP TO STEER. THE PROBLEM CAN BE FELT 1 TO 70 MPH ROAD OR PARKING LOT.
