Recall 19V-205: 2015–2018 Ford E-350, 2015–2018 Ford Transit
Quality Van Sales, Inc. recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Mar 18, 2019, covering about 471 vehicles.
The problem
Quality Van Sales, Inc. (Quality Van) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit and E-350 vehicles modified to be equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seat back cushions. The seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."
The risk
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Quality Van will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began March 21, 2019. Owners may contact Quality Van customer service at 1-800-408-8550.
