TransitWorks Recalls Driverge Vans for Seat Belt Retract Issues
TransitWorks is recalling 2019-2020 Ford Transit and RAM ProMaster vans because seat belt retractors may not secure occupants properly.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. 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 seat belts may fail to secure occupants, increasing the risk of injury in a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.
Plain-English summary
TransitWorks is recalling certain Driverge vehicles based on 2019-2020 Ford Transit vans equipped with Freedman Seating Company (FSC) PT Foldaway and GO-ES 3-point Foldaway seats. The recall involves 205 vehicles.
The seat belt retractor block out zone may not have been set correctly, potentially resulting in a seat belt that may not properly secure the occupant. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
TransitWorks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the retractors, free of charge. The recall began May 13, 2020. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
