What happened

Coach and Equipment Mfg. Corp. is recalling certain 2015-2018 Coach and Equipment Phoenix and Metro lite transit buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats (part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719). The problem involves the seat back cushion, which may not remain locked in place when rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, particularly when under load such as during a crash or sudden stop.

If the seat back moves during a crash, occupants face an increased risk of injury. Coach and Equipment has notified owners and will repair the foldaway seat free of charge through Freedman Seating. Owners should contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464 to arrange for repairs. The recall began November 26, 2018, and Freedman's reference number for this recall is 18E-076.
