## What is wrong

On certain buses equipped with Freedman GO\-ES Foldaway Seats, a weld on the seat\-back frames may not be adequate. In the event of a crash, the seat occupant\(s\) may not be properly restrained, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Owners are advised to contact the Freedman Seating Company \(FSC\) at 1\-800\-443\-4540, to get information about proper inspection procedures. Should a seat not pass the inspection, FSC will provide a repair kit and instructions for its installation.
