The hazard

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.
