Plain-English summary

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain Phantomizer 19" Conversion Van Seats, Part No. CF8819LEG027-01, manufactured on October 10, 2016. The affected seats are equipped with Atwood slide tracks that may not properly engage, allowing the seats to move in the event of a crash. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

If the seat moves during a crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of injury. HSM will notify the purchasers of the seats and offer replacements free of charge. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
