What happened

Mobility Transportation Services is recalling certain 2014-2018 Ford Transit and Ram Promaster vehicles and 2014-2015 Ford Econoline vehicles that have been modified with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats (part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719). The problem is that when the seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, it may not remain locked into place during a crash or sudden stop, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

MobilityTrans will notify owners, and Freedman Seating dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat free of charge. The recall began May 19, 2019. Affected consumers should contact Mobility Transportation Services customer service at 1-734-453-6452.
