Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with freedman seating company (fsc) pt foldaway and go-es 3-point foldaway seats. The seat belt retractor block out zone may have not been set correctly, potentially resulting in a seat belt that may not properly secure the occupant. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 209, "seat belt assemblies."

Why it matters: An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

The fix: Transitworks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the retractors, free of charge. The recall began May 13, 2020. Dealers can contact freedman seating company for parts and reimbursement information at 1-800-443-4540.
