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

A&J Vans Inc is recalling certain 2023 Ford Transit vehicles equipped with specific 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 defect could cause the seat back to release when force is applied to the shoulder belt, which increases the risk of injury during a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Owners should contact A&J customer service at 920-775-9333 to schedule an inspection and repair, which will be performed free of charge. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
