Product name Ford Child Car Seats
Description 1998 Windstar 
Problem Second row bench seats with optional integrated child seats (ICS). The headrest lockout mechanism on the seats may not engage and lock the headrest in the "down" position, as intended, when the ICS is deployed. A vehicle occupant could move the headrest to the "up" position. As a result of the headrest being in the "up" position, a child seated in the ICS would receive less than the intended protection in the child headrest area in the event of a crash.
