Problem overview

Some Ford Edge and Explorer owners report experiencing injuries due to sharp edges on the seat railing, resulting in multiple leg lacerations. This issue has been noted particularly when occupants reach between the power front seat and center console, which increases the risk of injury. Ford has acknowledged 31 reports of hand injuries linked to this condition and has issued a recall on select 2017 Ford Explorer vehicles to address the safety concern posed by the sharp seat frame edge. Owners are advised to take precautions and adhere to Ford's instructions to ensure their safety, especially when reaching into the potentially hazardous area between the front seat and center console.
