The Fusion is Ford’s small crossover-style hatchback from the early 2000s, sitting between the Fiesta and the Focus in size but with a raised ride height and a more upright seating position. Drivers tend to sit higher in the Fusion than in a conventional supermini, which can make finding a seat with adequate headroom and proper lateral support more difficult when upgrading to an aftermarket sports seat.
Part 868616-1831 is Recaro’s direct-fit sub-frame for the Fusion. It mounts to the original OEM floor points without any drilling and carries integrated sliding runners, keeping the fore-aft adjustment from the standard setup. The raised floor of the Fusion means a seat fitted on a sub-frame that was not designed for this specific car often ends up too high, which is the problem this kit is designed to avoid.
These frames fit Recaro base-mount reclining seats and base-mount bucket seats. They will not work with side-mounted competition shells without separate adaptor bars. One frame covers one seat. Order two for both front positions. If you are specifying a seat and sub-frame combination for the Fusion at the same time, let us know at checkout and we will confirm the full stack is correct before either item leaves us.
