What is being recalled
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 is dangerous
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Waldoch will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began September 25, 2020. Owners may contact Waldoch customer service at 1-651-464-3215.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 19V-252 when calling a dealer.
