Problem: New England Wheels (New England) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Ford Transit and 2014-2019 Ram Promaster 2500 and 3500 vehicles modified to be equipped with Freedman Go-ES Foldaway seats.

Risk: In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
