Known issues on the 2010 Explorer Sport Trac. One recall is on federal record for this year: trucks built during part of the production run with front seat manual recliners did not meet the federal seating standard, so in a crash the seatback and head restraint could move rearward. Owners have filed 30 complaints with NHTSA, the power train at six ahead of seats at three and air bags at three. Seat recliner mechanisms, transmission diagnostics and air bag system wiring diagrams are covered in the manual with the relevant specifications and torque values.
