Defect description

Quality Van Sales, Inc. (Quality Van) is recalling one 2023 Ford Transit 350 vehicle, equipped with certain GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats. The recliner mechanism may not engage when the seat back is fully reclined.

Safety risk

The seat back could release when force is applied to the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
