Summary:
      Quality Van Sales, Inc. "Quality Van" is recalling certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit and E-350 vehicles modified to be equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seat back cushions.

Consequence:
      In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
