NHTSA recall 19V205000
Seats · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Quality van sales, Inc. (quality van) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit and E-350 vehicles modified to be equipped with freedman go-es foldaway seat back cushions. The seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems."
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The fix: Quality van will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began March 21, 2019.
