Certain minivans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage system." During testing, a third row bench floor-to-seat latch released before the strength requirement was met. Identical latches are used in the second row of seats.
Dealers will replace the seat-to-floor latches on the second and third row of seats. Owner notification began on November 21, 2003. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
