2018 Diamond Coach PT 2000 & 2018 Diamond Coach Transit Mpv/vtum recall: seats

⚠️ What's wrong

Diamond Coach Corporation (Diamond Coach) is recalling certain 2018 Transit MPV/VTUM and 2018 PT 2000 transit buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

💥 The risk

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

🔧 The fix

Diamond Coach will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began April 3, 2019. Owners may contact Diamond Coach customer service at 1-800-442-4645.

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.)
