Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The seat back could release under the shoulder belt load, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Coach and Equipment Mfg.
Corp.
(Coach and Equipment) is recalling certain 2024 Phoenix shuttle buses, equipped with certain GO-ES Space Saver Foldaway Seats.
The recliner mechanism may not engage when the seat back is fully reclined.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
