What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Goshen Coach (Goshen) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Pacer, Pacer LS, PacerLTD, GCII, Impulse, Connection, Commander, G-Force, G-Force Access, G-FforceLTD, Sentinel, Sentinel UC, Mainstream Low Floor vehicles manufactured July 1, 2014, to July 27, 2015. The driver and passenger seat mounting space not have been properly tightened. The bolts can come loose and cause the seat to move if involved in a crash. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 207, "Seating Systems."

The risk

The failure of the seat to stay in place in the event of a crash increases the risk of injury to the occupant in that seat.

The remedy

Goshen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-tighten the bolts, free of charge. The recall began on September 3, 2015. Owners may contact Goshen customer service at 1-574-970-6300.

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
