Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the seat moves in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of injury.
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain Phantomizer 19” Conversion Van Seats Part No.
CF8819LEG027-01 manufactured October 10, 2016.
The affected seats are equipped with Atwood slide tracks that may not properly engage, allowing the seats to move in the event of a crash.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, “Seating Systems,” and 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”
