Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2015 Lincoln MKT Town Car vehicles equipped with the livery package. These vehicles were manufactured between February 4, 2015, and June 23, 2015. The recall affects vehicles that were intended to seat five passengers but were delivered without the second row seating.
The missing seats cause the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110. Additionally, the vehicles fail to comply with FMVSS No. 225, "Child Restraint Anchorages," because they lack a required tether anchorage at the front passenger seating position. This configuration increases the risk of injury to unrestrained or improperly restrained occupants in the event of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the vehicles and install the second row seating if it is missing. The recall began on July 28, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
