MY FORD F-150 SUPER CREW 4-DOOR PICKUP DOES NOT HAVE HEAD RESTRAINTS IN THE REAR 60/40SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS COULD SUFFER SEVERE HEAD INJURRY IN A CRASH. FORD HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND HAS REDESIGNED THE RREAR SEAT WITH HEAD RESTRAINTS. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OF THESE SUPER CREWS PRODUCED WITHOUT THE HEAD RESTRAINT. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS CORRECTING. *AK

Across model years
Worst on record: 2001Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
