Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.

TransitWorks has notified owners and instructed them to contact Freedman seats for a repair kit. The recall began December 19, 2019. Owners may contact Freedman Seating customer service at 1-800-443-4540 or TransitWorks customer service at 1-855-337-9543.
