What happened

National Van Builders is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ford Transit and 2019 Ram Promaster vans equipped with Freedman GO-ES foldaway seats because the seat belt retractor block out zone may not have been set correctly. This defect could result in a seat belt that does not properly secure an occupant, increasing the risk of injury in a crash and causing the vehicles to fail federal safety standards for seat belt assemblies.

Owners will be notified by National Van Builders, and dealers will replace the retractors at no charge. The recall began May 19, 2020. Affected consumers should contact Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540 or National Van Builders customer service at 1-800-527-7477.
