What this recall means for you
Certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit and E-350 vans that were modified with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway seat back cushions may have a seat back that does not stay locked in place when under load, such as during a crash or a sudden stop. The vehicles therefore do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 207 for seating systems.
If the seat back moves during a crash, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
