Quality Van Sales, Inc. "Quality Van" is recalling one 2023 Ford Transit 350 vehicle, equipped with certain GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats. The recliner mechanism may not engage when the seat back is fully reclined. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems."
The seat back could release when force is applied to the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Quality Van will work with the equipment manufacturer, Freedman, to inspect and repair the seats as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. The owner may contact Quality Van Sales Inc at 800-408-8550.
Owner may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153' or go to nhtsa.gov.
