Ford recalls about 100,000 2008 F-Series trucks

Ford Motor Co. is recalling about 100,000 2008F-Series trucks because the front driver’s seat does not conformwith federal standards.

Ford says the weld connecting a bracket and the driver’s frontseat back could crack on a small number of vehicles. As a result,the vehicles do not comply with federal rules for seat backstrength.

The recall covers F-250 through F-550 Super Duty trucks. Morethan 87,000 of the trucks are in the United States and 14,000 arein Canada.

Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said Thursday that no injuries havebeen reported. Ford discovered the issue after receiving reports ofthe weld cracking.

Owners will be notified of the recall later in March. For moreinformation, owners can call Ford at (800) 392-3673.
