The short version
TransitWorks reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
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.
In the event of a crash, if the seat back moves, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
TransitWorks has notified owners and instructed them to contact Freedman seats for a repair kit.
