## What the record says

- **Product**: LINCOLN NAUTILUS (2023) - Recall 23V198000
- **Reason**: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023 Edge and Lincoln Nautilus vehicles. The child seat tether wire welds on the second-row left-side seat back frame may be insufficient, which can reduce the seat's ability to properly restrain a child during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems." A child that is not properly restrained during a crash can have an increased risk of injury.
- **Classification**: Not supplied
- **Recalling firm**: Ford Motor Company
- **Quantity**: 19
- **Agency-reported status**: Published safety recall
