Ford Recall 26S30 -- Loose Front Seat Bolts in 2024-2026 Bronco

Logged into my Ford account - under vehicle health does not show any recalls for it. Yet. 2025 MY.
When I bought my Bronco I was in the market for the new 4Runner. Those don't seem to have as many recalls, but then I log into the 4Runnerr6G site and read the latest issues. New one is Toyota's QC is so lacking that many cars are missing complete paint coverage. When you open the door on some you can see that they only partly painted the inside of the door jambs etc, while an 'identical' one would have full paint coverage.
This is on top of the complaints of extremely thin and soft paint. And crap interiors, door rattles, crazy variances on fuel economy etc.
You pick your poison... At least I get a thrill walking up to and driving my Bronco every single time!
Still, the number of these recalls is ridiculous.

Wal*Mart has bags of bolts on sale ...
As if those are the only two options. How about build the friggin thing right to begin with?

I got this recall for my 21 a month or so ago. They sent mobile mechanic who checked it and said my bolts passed inspection and didn't need to be replaced. So apparently no all recalls need fixing.

An "ugga dugga" is mechanic slang for a single impact from an pneumatic or electric impact wrench, often used as a humorous, informal unit of torque measurement. It represents the sound and feel of a tool tightening a nut or bolt, with "one ugga dugga" roughly equating to 4–6 foot-pounds of torque.
Yeah a large majority of them will likely have this outcome.
They’ve had this same issue before on other models in the past and I never had one that actually failed the bolt inspection.

My wife's Bronco spit out a screw from under her seat
awhile back, we just thought it was an extra screw or something!!

I'm hoping fuel pump parts become available soon so I can get both at the same time. The Bronco requested permission to update the other night so I hope the blank screen (which I never experienced) issue is fixed too.

It won’t show in the FordPAss app until there is a remedy. Check the NHTSA website, my ‘25 shows the recall.
That one is slightly different because it’s a partial remedy.They're all visible. For example, on my vehicle:
For example the fuel pump one likely isn’t visible to anyone, because there’s no remedy at all.
Current ETA is June 22nd
According to Indeed:
The average production line worker at Ford in the U.S. earns approximately $21–$25 per hour, with annual salaries often falling around $42,000–$50,000. Pay rates vary by role and experience, with hourly assembly workers often earning $20–$25 per hour, while specific roles like Tool Makers can exceed $40 per hour.
Ford CEO Farley makes $30mill/yr. Not sure what the morale is like on the factory floor when the CEO makes their yearly salary in four hours. Unhappy workers does not make for a high quality product.
