  Release Handle, Handle Seat Back Adjusting

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford left-hand (driver side) second-row seat back recliner release handle, cataloged by Ford as Handle - Seat Back Adjusting. It is the lever a passenger pulls to release the seat back latch so the second-row 60/40 folding seat can recline or fold forward for cargo and third-row access. The base number covers the driver-side (LH) lever; the mirror-image passenger unit uses a separate number. This is a broad cross-platform D4 part shared across the Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor Utility, Ford Flex, and Lincoln MKS and MKT, which is why it is best described as a multi-vehicle fitment rather than a single line. The original AE9Z service level is the early-build version and was later superseded on the same base to a CE9Z and DE9Z number, all describing the same second-row seat back adjusting handle. Owners look for this handle when the plastic lever has snapped off, cracked at the pivot, or pulls with no effect because the internal cable or return spring has failed, leaving the seat back stuck upright or unable to latch. It restores proper recline and fold operation and matches the factory grain and attachment so it clips back onto the seat frame without modification. Verify your side and seat before ordering.
