Recall 03V-530: 2002–2004 Accubuilt Van
ACCUBUILT, INC. recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Dec 12, 2003, covering about 32 vehicles.
The problem
Certain multi-passenger handicap-accessible vans built on ford e250 and e350 chassis fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, "child restraint anchorage systems." these vehicles lack the appropriate number of child restraint anchorages.
The risk
Applicable child seats would not be able to utilize these supplemental anchorages. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Accubuilt will modify or replace one or more of the seats to include the appropriate number of seating positions with child restraint anchorage systems. Owner notification is expected to begin during february 2004. Owners should contact accubuilt at 1-888-242-4782.
