“I have a 1991 Ford F-150 supercab truck which I purchased new. I was not involved in any kinda of accident or product failure so I cannot report and kinda of damage estimates or injury information because there are none. I was looking through the NHTSA safety regulations webpage because I was baffled at the fact that my1991 pickup did not have any kind of head restraints. I found that under standard 202 that all cars, multipassenger vehicles, trucks, and buses with a gvwr of 10,000 lbs or less are required to have head restraints effective 1-1-69. …”
NHTSA complaint #743535, filed 2001-04“The latch that let down the front back of the seat broke. The manual pulley wire inside of seat broke off & the seat back would not release. It happened on one side & then the other side within 6 months of each other. Also, a Ford rangers transmission was put into this f 150, said it was because output shaft is too small for a regular size shaft of a f 150.”
