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

[25Dsand]

I recently took my raptor in for the other recalls and this came up on my insurance app and at the counter in dealership. I did all recalls and was told that they checked this and was fine, really hope It was not bs and its fine after reading parts are not available yet.

I have a pile of recalls sitting on my desk. They are so frequent that I think Ford should make them trading cards.
I have been waiting for my dealer to get the parts to do them and when they have the part, another trading card comes in.
I have been warned not to use the local dealer by fii but unless I ship to another island, I have no choice. Does an have experience using the dealer on Kauai?

I've got Ford mobile service coming today to take a look at mine, I'll post an update on what they find.

Ford mobile tech came out and did the seat bolt recall. He said they're told to remove the seats to perform the work, but he had done a few and knew how to just remove the side trim panel and access it from the front and rear, thereby saving some work. Forgot to ask if they were loose or not, I hadn't noticed anything.

Also asked him if he could reflash the BCM for a portion of recall 26S29 for the sun visor wiring recall, he was OK doing it. He did say they're working on a fix for the harness, but didn't have the details just yet. Lights still work on the mirror visors, so I'm not exactly sure what it did, but found this online.

Body Control Module (BCM) Update: The Body Control Module software will be updated. This update is designed to cut power to the sun visor circuit proactively to prevent any short-circuiting or arcing from building up heat.

Got my letter also. Just another sheet in my 3 ring binder that I titled "Recall Raptor".

Pivot bracket bolts seem to be M10x1 threaded with T45 heads ~15-20mm length, was able to get stainless nuts threaded on exposed threads on backside of brackets, can't see them backing out now if they were, used total 8 in front pivots and 4 in back but did require facing/grinding down some of the nuts to catch the minimal exposed threads on some of the bolts, notice in diagram top bolt has less exposed threads for example.
