Goshen recall: Seats
What is wrong
Goshen Coach (Goshen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Pacer, Pacer LS, PacerLTD, GCII, Impulse, Connection, Commander, G-Force, G-Force Access, G-FforceLTD, Sentinel, Sentinel UC, Mainstream Low Floor vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to July 27, 2015. The driver and passenger seat mounting space not have been properly tightened. The bolts can come loose and cause the seat to move if involved in a crash. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 207, "Seating Systems."
What could happen
The failure of the seat to stay in place in the event of a crash increases the risk of injury to the occupant in that seat.
The fix
Goshen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-tighten the bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 3, 2015. Owners may contact Goshen customer service at 1-574-970-6300.
