The switch for the easy-entry outer seats may bind or stick on some 2020-2027 Aviators and 2020-2026 Explorers, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

Dealers will inspect the bezel around the switch and will replace it for free if necessary.

Owners will receive letters in the mail after July 27 alerting them to the problem and a second one once the repair is available. The second letter is expected to arrive in January.

The recall expands a previous 25V393.
