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.

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.

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.
