In other Ford news, the company announced earlier that certain Ford Explorer models have been recalled due to reports of injuries occurring from rough edges on the seats.  Some 300,000 units, from the 2017 Explorer model year are being recalled due to some seat frames having sharp edges, the company said in a press release.

This affects only Ford Explorers equipped with power seats, the automaker said, further adding that owners should avoid contact with the seat frame edge until a repair is completed by dealers. To fix the problem, Ford dealers will install tape (!) to the exposed edge at no charge to owners.
