Details

What's wrong: Waldoch crafts, Inc. (waldoch) is recalling certain 2018 Ford Transit shuttle vans modified to be equipped with freedman go-es foldaway seats, part number 43705. 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: Waldoch will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began September 25, 2020.
