Compliance Recall Notice 19C07 / NHTSA Recall 19V-633
Mr. John Sample
123 Main Street
Anywhere, USA 12345
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): 12345678901234567
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Ford Motor Company has decided that your vehicle, with the VIN shown above, fails to conform to
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 202a for Head Restraints and FMVSS 207 for
Seating Systems.
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, one or more of the seatbacks may have an improperly
assembled recliner mechanism.
What is the risk? A seatback with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism may have
reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in the event
of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
What will Ford and
your dealer do?
Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to inspect the seat backs
and replace it if necessary 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
19C07. 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
compliance recall. You should contact your dealer for an appointment to
have your vehicle remedied as soon as practicable. You can continue to
safely drive your vehicle.

owner, please forward this letter to the new owner.

respaldos del asiento y, si fuera necesario, a reemplazarlo sin costo alguno
(piezas y mano de obra).
¿Cuánto tiempo
tomará?
El tiempo necesario para reparar será menos de medio día. Sin embargo,
debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su
distribuidor tarde un poco más.
¿Qué debe hacer?
Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una cita de servicio para realizar
la campaña 19C07. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está
