Inspecting the built-in child seat after a collision
Inspect all built-in child restraints, including seats, buckles, retractors,
and seat latches. Interlocks and attaching hardware should be inspected
by a qualified technician after any collision. If the child seat was in use
during a collision, Ford recommends replacing it. Built-in child restraints
not in use during a collision should be inspected and replaced if either
damage or improper operation is noted.
