James Limbach Reporter

TransitWorks is recalling 241 Driverge vehicles based on model year 2019-2020 Ford Transit vans with Freedman Seating Company PT Foldaway and GO-ES 3-point Foldaway seats.

The seat belt retractor block-out zone may have not been set correctly, potentially resulting in a seat belt that may not properly secure the occupant.

An unsecured occupant has an increased risk of injury in a crash.

What to do

TransitWorks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the retractors free of charge.

The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Owners may contact TransitWorks customer service at (855) 337-9543.
