The defect
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company (HSM) is recalling certain Phantomizer 19" Conversion Van Seats Part No. CF8819LEG027-01 manufactured October 10, 2016. The affected seats are equipped with Atwood slide tracks that may not properly engage, allowing the seats to move in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
The risk
If the seat moves in the event of a crash, the seat occupant would be at an increased risk of injury.
