“The seat manual tilt lever for the driver sit is busted. It locks and does not allow adjustment. The local dealership said it was not covered under warranty. The cost to replace the unit was extreme. We have had three 2016 explorers police package fall victim to the same issue. The issue began about a year into it's use. Is there a recall for this issue?”
