SEATS
- The defect
- 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."
- What it can cause
- The seat back could release under the shoulder belt load, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Coach and Equipment will direct owners to Freedman's instructions on how to inspect and repair the seat as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 13, 2024. Owners may contact Coach and Equipment customer service at 1-800-724-8464.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 12 vehicles this is a small campaign: 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Coach and Equipment vehicles have been recalled over the seats once before this, most recently in November 2018 as 18V796000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V472000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V895000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Coach and Equipment Mfg. Corp. with NHTSA on May 6, 2024 as campaign 24V317000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
