What this recall covers

- The risk
- In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
- The fix
- Quality Van will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began March 21, 2019. Owners may contact Quality Van customer service at 1-800-408-8550.
