What do you mean by that? It is broken? torn? damaged in some way?

Take it to the dealer and have it replaced.

I like Mustangman want to know what headrest open means. But I think this will be like so many of the transplanted Carcomplaints post where we never get the rest of the story.

This vehicle has active head restraints in the front seat head rests that can deploy when the vehicle is hit from behind in a collision. The mechanism is spring loaded, the owners manual has instructions on how to reset the head rests after a collision.

If there has not been a collision the latch in the head rest may have failed.
