What is wrong
Diamond Coach Corporation (Diamond Coach) is recalling certain 2018 Transit MPV/VTUM and 2018 PT 2000 transit buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, 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," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
What can happen
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Diamond Coach will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began April 3, 2019. Owners may contact Diamond Coach customer service at 1-800-442-4645.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
