Defect

XL Hybrids, Inc (XL) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit vehicles modified to be equipped with XL's electric hybrid system. The cardan (universal) joint on the front driveshaft may fail, possibly causing the front driveshaft to detach.

Defect

TransitWorks is recalling certain 2015-2018 Ford Transit, 2018 Ford Transit Connect, and 2016 Dodge Ram ProMaster vehicles modified to be equipped with Freedman Seating GO-ES seats.

Consequence

In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

Defect

TransitWorks is recalling certain Driverge vehicles based on 2019-2020 Ford Transit vans equipped with Freedman Seating Company (FSC) PT Foldaway and GO-ES 3-point Foldaway seats.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupants and Traffic

NHTSA recall concerns for certain modified vans include a driveshaft universal joint that may fail and detach, potentially causing loss of drive power or a road hazard. A rear seat cushion may not stay locked during a crash or sudden stop, while an improperly adjusted seat belt retractor may fail to secure an occupant. Glass roof hatches may also shatter from temperature and vibration stresses, allowing fragments to fall on passengers. These issues can increase crash or injury risk, making prompt VIN confirmation important. Even if the van drives normally, waiting could leave a safety remedy unfinished. Contact the service team when a notice arrives or uncertainty remains.
