Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My complaint comes in the concern of the lack of head restraints for the rear seats of the 2001 ford f150 super crew. i have been informed that the rear bench seats for the generation 1 models (super crew models built between february and june 2000) were not provided with rear headrestraints and that it became standard for generation 2 and 3 models. it only makes sense that if the dealer later realized that the lack of rear headrestraints was a concern and made it standard for the same model truck and only equipted models built later in the year, then i feel that the cost of correction of this hazard should not fall in the hands of the owner but in the hands of the dealership. i am not aware of any recall pertaining to this problem. i would appreciate your help in getting this safety concern corrected.*ak
