Ford expanded a seat recall to cover nearly 388,000 Explorers and Aviators.

Second-row seats can tip or slide unexpectedly as the vehicle is moving.

Some affected vehicles had already received the previous recall repair.

Ford is recalling another 387,911 SUVs after discovering the problem behind a previous safety campaign wasn’t limited to the vehicles it originally identified. The expanded recall covers 2020-2026 Ford Explorer and 2020-2027 Lincoln Aviator models equipped with second-row easy-entry seats. More notably, it also includes some vehicles that had already undergone the original repair, suggesting the issue proved more persistent than first believed.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

At the heart of the recall is the second-row seat’s easy-entry switch bezel. According to Ford , the bezel can become misaligned or unseat during normal use, causing the switch to bind or remain stuck in the pressed position. If that happens, the seat could unexpectedly tip forward or slide while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury, especially during a crash.

The latest recall builds on campaign 25V393 , launched in June 2025. At the time, Ford traced the problem to incorrectly installed switch bezels supplied by its seat manufacturer and instructed dealers to inspect the bezel installation and replace damaged components. Production changes and additional quality checks convinced Ford the issue had been contained. Turns out, it wasn’t.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a");

}

});

In late April 2026, Ford reviewed new field reports involving vehicles built after the original recall cutoff and identified five additional cases of unintended second-row seat movement while driving. The company also found four reports involving vehicles that had already received the earlier recall repair.

Those findings prompted a new investigation, which ultimately led Ford to expand the recall population to include all affected vehicles built through June 24, 2026. That’s when the original bezel design was finally removed from production. As of June 16, Ford had identified 14 reports of unintended seat movement linked to the defect.

Eight of the vehicles involved weren’t covered by the previous recall, while six were SUVs already repaired under the earlier campaign. Ford says it’s aware of a single customer complaint filed with NHTSA, though it knows of no crashes or injuries tied to the condition. The fix has dealers swapping the easy-entry switch bezel for one with stronger retention force, which should, in theory, keep it from working loose… again.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751");

}

Adobe is introducing a new “AI Playground” feature in its Project Indigo iPhone camera app.

The feature will let users make AI-powered edits to their photos.

It will also use AI to provide users with feedback on their photos and to teach them how to take better pictures.

Last year, Adobe launched an iPhone camera app built by a team that included two of the minds behind the popular Pixel Camera app. The app, called “Project Indigo,” offers a bunch of useful features, including manual controls and the HDR+ approach of the original Google Camera to capture photos with better dynamic range. Now, Adobe is introducing some impressive new features in the app.

Adobe today announced in a blog post that it’s adding an “AI Playground” to the Project Indigo camera app. This is an experimental feature that uses Google’s Nano Banana model, but the company says it could switch models in the future, or even offer different models to different users as a kind of A/B test.

TL;DR

Leaked material for Qualcomm’s unannounced SM8475 chipset has appeared online.

This is believed to be the Snapdragon 4 Gen 6 processor.

It looks like the chip could gain a dedicated DSP and AI processor for the first time in the Snapdragon 4 series.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 series of chips usually powers very cheap Android phones . Now, it looks like the company’s upcoming Snapdragon 4 Gen 6 has leaked online ahead of its formal release.

NotebookCheck apparently obtained a confidential diagram sheet for the unannounced SM8475 chipset, claiming it’s likely the Snapdragon 4 Gen 6 processor. The outlet claims that the chip is built on TSMC’s 4nm process, much like the previous processor. Furthermore, it’s powered by two Kryo Gold CPU cores (apparently Cortex-A78) and six Kryo Silver cores (said to be Cortex-A55). This would be a very pedestrian CPU setup in 2026, although it should deliver smooth everyday performance on budget phones.
