Defect

National Van Builders, Inc. (National Van Builders) is recalling certain vehicles based on 2019-2020 Ford Transit and 2019 Ram Promaster vans equipped with Freedman GO-ES foldaway seats.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information describes seat belt retractors that may not properly secure occupants, a glass roof hatch that may shatter, and a foldaway seat cushion that may not stay locked during a crash or sudden stop. It also identifies a possible universal-joint failure on vans modified with an XL electric hybrid system, which could cause loss of drive power or create a road hazard. These conditions can increase injury or crash risk. Waiting to check your VIN leaves uncertainty in place. A free recall check helps determine whether the manufacturer has specified a repair for your vehicle.
