SAFETY RECALL NOTICE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CAMPAIGN NO: 18E-076 November 1, 2018 This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR 577.13. Freedman Seating Company (FSC) has determined that our GO-ES Foldaway Seat may have a defect which may increase the risk in occupant injury in the event of a vehicle collision. These seats may have been manufactured with a back frame weldment that is too narrow resulting in deformation of the seat back cushion dump mechanism which may cause it to malfunction. If this mechanism does malfunction the seat back cushion may not support the appropriate loading in the event of a front or rear vehicle collision. During the operation of the seat and, specifically, in rotating the seat back cushion from the stowed to the upright, design use position there needs to be an audible click of the mechanism locking into position. In addition, the mechanism handle will rotate downwards. There may be some seats where the mechanism does not fully engage during this operation of the seat back cushion.
