Rear bench seat headrests do not stay locked in position when raised. Leaning head back onto headrest causes them to lower which could result in injury to the base of the neck or head during a crash. Also, headrests are too low for full size adults to adequately protect the head/neck from hitting glass rear window during hard stop or crash. Took vehicle to dealership to investigate. Dealer indicated all 2016/2017 model trucks on their lot function this way. Asked to report it here. Rear seat headrests need to be recalled to allow for a locking mechanism to be installed. Rear seat headrest design needs updated to increase back of head/neck protection heights during crash.
