NHTSA recall 19V229000
Seats · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with freedman seating go-es seats. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop.
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: Transitworks has notified owners and instructed them to contact freedman seats for a repair kit. The recall began December 19, 2019.
