Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
ARBOC Specialty Vehicles, LLC is recalling certain 2015-2018 ARBOC Spirit of Freedom, Spirit of Mobility, and Spirit of Independence-Pro Master transit buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats with part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. The problem is that when the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as during a crash or sudden stop, which increases the risk of injury to seat occupants and violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207.
To address this issue, ARBOC has notified owners and directed them to contact Freedman for free repairs. The recall began November 29, 2018. Affected owners can contact Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540 or ARBOC at 1-574-825-4880 to arrange the repair.
