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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a seat component may fail to lock during a crash, creating a significant risk of injury to occupants.

Plain-English summary

Eldorado National-Kansas is recalling certain 2015-2016 Goshen Impulse shuttle buses equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats. The recall involves 16 affected vehicles.

The defect occurs when the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position. In this configuration, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop. If the seat back moves during a crash, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

Eldorado National-Kansas will notify owners, and Freedman will repair the foldaway seat free of charge. The recall began on April 3, 2019. Owners may contact Eldorado National-Kansas customer service at 1-800-955-4236 or Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
