What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Goshen Coach is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Pacer, Pacer LS, Pacer LTD, GCII, Impulse, Connection, Commander, G-Force, G-Force Access, G-Force LTD, Sentinel, Sentinel UC, and Mainstream Low Floor vehicles. The recall covers 1,494 units manufactured between July 1, 2014, and July 27, 2015.

The driver and passenger seat mounting spaces may not have been properly tightened. The bolts can come loose and cause the seat to move if the vehicle is involved in a crash. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 207, "Seating Systems."

The failure of the seat to stay in place in the event of a crash increases the risk of injury to the occupant in that seat. Goshen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-tighten the bolts free of charge. The recall began on September 3, 2015. Owners may contact Goshen customer service at 1-574-970-6300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
