2024 Coach And Equipment Phoenix recall: seats
⚠️ What's wrong
Coach and Equipment Mfg. Corp. (Coach and Equipment) is recalling certain 2024 Phoenix shuttle buses, equipped with certain GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats. The recliner mechanism may not engage when the seat back is fully reclined. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
💥 The risk
The seat back could release under the shoulder belt load, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
🔧 The fix
Coach and Equipment will direct owners to Freedman's instructions on how to inspect and repair the seat as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 13, 2024. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464.
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.)
