Ford is recalling nearly 388,000 Explorer and Aviator SUVs due to a safety issue where the seats could unlatch or tip. The recall affects vehicles where the seats may not remain secure, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. The company will notify owners about the problem and provide free repairs to address the defect.

The recall includes specific models of the Explorer and Aviator, though the exact production years were not disclosed in the initial report. The issue stems from a potential failure in the seat mechanism, which could cause the seatback to recline unexpectedly or the seat to detach from its base.

Owners of affected vehicles are advised to contact their local Ford dealership for inspection and repair. The company has not yet reported any injuries or accidents related to the defect. Further details about the recall timeline and repair process are expected to be released soon.
