Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain Starcraft transit buses from model years 2016 to 2019 equipped with specific Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. The problem is that when the seat back is rotated from a stowed to upright position, it may not lock properly when under load, such as during a crash or sudden stop, increasing the risk of occupant injury and failing to meet federal safety standards.
Forest River will notify owners, and Freedman Seating will repair the foldaway seat at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3112 or Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540. Forest River's recall number for this issue is 05-0903. The recall began on December 4, 2018.
