The defect
Mobility Ventures LLC (Mobility Ventures) is recalling certain 2011-2016 MV-1 vehicles. During a hard rear impact, the driver's seat-height adjustment assembly may disengage from the seat track and the fore/aft seat adjuster may be released, potentially causing the seat to disengage from the seat track.
The risk
If the driver's seat partially of fully disengages from the seat track in a rear-end crash, they have an increased risk of injury.
The remedy
Mobility Ventures will notify owners, and dealers will install a seat track reinforcement kit, free of charge. The recall began on February 14, 2018. Owners may contact Mobility Ventures customer service at 1-877-681-3678. Mobility Ventures number for this recall is R1801.
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.
