What is being recalled
Fenton Mobility Products, Inc. (Fenton Mobility) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit vehicles modified to be equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. 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)
Fenton Mobility will notify owners, and a Fenton Mobility technician will repair the foldaway seats, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2019. Owners may contact Fenton Mobility customer service at 1-716-484-7014.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 19V-329 when calling a dealer.
