What is wrong
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain Phantomizer 19" Conversion Van Seats Part No. CF8819LEG027-01 manufactured October 10, 2016. The affected seats are equipped with Atwood slide tracks that may not properly engage, allowing the seats to move in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
What can happen
If the seat moves in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of injury.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
HSM will notify the purchasers of the seats and will offer replacements free of charge. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.

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.
