Defect. Coach and Equipment Mfg Corp. (Coach and Equipment) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Coach and Equipment Phoenix and Metro lite transit buses, equipped with Freedman GO-ES Foldaway Seats, part numbers 43705, 45467, 48923, and 75719. When the back seat cushion is rotated from the stowed position to the upright position, the seat cushion may not remain locked into place when under load, such as in a crash or a sudden stop.

Risk. In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

Remedy. Coach and Equipment has notified owners, and Freedman Seating will repair the foldaway seat, free of charge. The recall began November 26, 2018. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464. Freedman's number for this recall is 18E-076.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
