Ford Explorer: Question on seat lever recall

My '98 Ex goes into the dealer for this fix on friday morning.
Things may be different here in the UK but the dealer would not supply the
parts for me to fit as this is a SAFETY related recall. It's dealer fit only
and the recall work has to be recorded in the vehicle's service log. They
say the work will take less than an hour.
Inerestingly, Ford don't seem to care about passenger safety as they are
only 'fixing' the driver's seat. Both seats appear to be of identical
construction (apart from being 'handed') so I presume that my RHD driver's
seat would be your LHD passenger seat.

I thought of that also. Why didn't they include the passengers seat also.Unless
they are going to do it and they just failed to mention it in the letter.

If the drivers seat reclines the driver will loose control of the vehicle.
Therefore it's a safety recall. If the passenger seat reclines someone in the
2hd row gets sore knees. No safety recall!

Just wait for the lawsuit when some little rich kid gets squashed by a
collapsing passenger seat when Ford already know about the 'fault' but
failed to correct it...

Anyway, I got my seat 'fixed' today. The Ex was at the dealers for about 1
1/2 hours. The only downside is that I now know how Homer Simpson felt when
the Carnies spoiled his couch groove! Oh for seats with electronic memory!
