TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers
SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD Safety Recall 20S48
Certain 2020 Model Year Aviator and Explorer
1st Row Seatback Subassembly Fastener Torque
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Aviator | 2020 | Chicago Assembly | April 11, 2019 through July 30, 2020 |
| Explorer | 2020 | Chicago Assembly | April 11, 2019 through June 4, 2020 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In the affected vehicles, it may be possible that one or more of the front row seatback subassembly fasteners were not tightened to the proper torque during vehicle assembly. An improperly torqued seatback subassembly may affect the trajectory of the side air bag deployment and could prevent or delay the air bag cushion from positioning correctly, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to torque the fasteners on either the driver, front passenger or both seatback subassemblies.
The Service Manager is responsible to ensure that the repair procedure has been performed completely and properly and is required to sign off on the repair order. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of September 7, 2020. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in your
vehicle, with the VIN shown above.
We apologize for this situation and want to assure you that, with your assistance, we will correct this
condition. Our commitment, together with your dealer, is to provide you with the highest level of service
and support.
What is the issue? On your vehicle, it may be possible that the front row seat back fasteners
were not tightened to the proper torque during vehicle assembly.
What is the risk? This may affect the trajectory of the side air bag deployment and could
prevent or delay the air bag cushion from positioning correctly, which may
increase the risk of injury during a crash.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to torque the seat fasteners
free of charge (parts and labor).
How long will it take? The time needed for this repair is less than one-half day. However, due to
service scheduling requirements, your dealer may need your vehicle for a
longer period of time.
What should you do? Please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for Recall
20S48. Provide the dealer with your VIN, which is printed near your name at
the beginning of this letter.
Ford has not issued instructions to stop driving your vehicle under this safety
recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to have your

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL FOR SELECT 2020 FORD EXPLORER AND LINCOLN AVIATOR VEHICLES
Aug 25, 2020 | DEARBORN, Mich.
DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 25, 2020 – Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for 528 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator vehicles. Affected 2020 models are equipped with front seatbacks that may have fasteners with incorrect torque on the side airbag and/or seatback module attachments. If the side airbag and seatback module are not fully secured, it could affect the trajectory of the side airbag deployment and may prevent or delay the airbag cushion from positioning correctly, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
