Prime-Time Ford Transit Conversion Recall for Seat Recliner Defect

Prime-Time is recalling 2023-2024 Ford Transit conversions because the seat recliner mechanism may not engage, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat recliner mechanism) that increases the risk of injury during a crash, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Prime-Time Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain 2023-2024 Ford Transit vehicles equipped with GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats. The recall addresses a defect where the recliner mechanism may not engage when the seat back is fully reclined. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The defect creates a safety hazard because the seat back could release when force is applied to the shoulder belt. This increases the risk of injury during a crash. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

Dealers will inspect and repair the seat as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 27, 2024. Owners may contact Prime-Time customer service at 1-574-293-9191 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
