Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Diamond Coach Corporation is recalling certain 2018 Transit MPV/VTUM and 2018 PT 2000 transit buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. The seats may not remain locked in place when rotated to the upright position and subjected to impact forces from a crash or sudden stop, which could increase the risk of injury to occupants. The vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for seating systems and seat belt anchorages.
Diamond Coach will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat free of charge. The recall began on April 3, 2019. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Diamond Coach customer service at 1-800-442-4645.
