2012–2016 Rosenbauer Commander recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Rosenbauer Motors (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2012-2016 Commander vehicles manufactured January 2, 2012, to May 16, 2016. The affected vehicles have Battalion air suspension seats that may separate from its base in a frontal collision. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."
💥 The risk
If the seat detaches from its base in the event of a crash, there is an increased risk of injury to the occupant.
🔧 The fix
Rosenbauer will notify owners, and dealers will attach two tethers from the seat to the cab, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
