Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2016-2019 Elkhart ECE3 and ECE4 buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. In these vehicles, the seat back cushion may not remain locked in place during a crash or sudden stop, which increases the risk of injury to seat occupants. The seats do not meet federal safety standards for seating systems and seat belt assembly anchorages.
To address this issue, Forest River will repair the foldaway seat at no charge. Owners have been notified of the recall, which began March 8, 2019. Affected consumers should contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-(574) 327-2700 or Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540 to arrange the repair. Forest River's recall number is 42-0975.
