## What is wrong

Cabot Coach Builders, Inc. DBA Royale Limousine \(Royale\) is recalling certain 2015\-2018 Ford Transit\-based mini\-coaches equipped with Freedman GO\-ES foldaway seats recalled under 18E\-076.  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.


## What can happen

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


## The remedy

Royale will notify owners and dealers will inspect and repair the seat.  The recall began June 6, 2019.  Owners may contact Royale customer service at 1\-800\-544\-5587.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
