Recall 23V315 covers 39 2022 Capacity Tj 5000, 6500, and 9000 vehicles for a missing jump-seat clip. Repair will be free once available.
Capacity is recalling 39 2022 Tj 9000, Tj 6500, and Tj 5000 vehicles because the passenger side jump seat was built with a safety-clip defect that lets the pivot rod slide. Without that clip, the jump seat can fall and injure an occupant; the dealer repair will be free once Capacity makes it available.

What's wrong?
The passenger side trainer seat on the 2022 Capacity Tj 9000, Tj 6500, and Tj 5000 is a jump seat used for an extra passenger or trainer inside the cab. A pivot rod lets the seat move on its hinge point, and a safety clip holds that rod in place so the seat stays secured as designed.
On affected trucks, that safety clip was not installed on the jump seat. Without the clip, the pivot rod is not fully retained. As the seat is used, the rod can slide out of position, which means the seat assembly no longer has the fastening support it was designed to have.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat can look normal until the rod has already moved, so the missing clip has to be checked directly.
Who's affected?
Covers three Capacity Tj truck classes from the 2022 model year, all using the same passenger-side trainer seat assembly.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without the required safety clip, the jump seat can fall without warning, increasing the risk of injury. If your VIN is included, limit use of that seat until the retaining clip is installed and contact the dealer for repair timing. Repair will be free at any franchised Capacity dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Capacity Tj 9000, Tj 6500, or Tj 5000 is included in this recall.
- Wait for Capacity's repair notice before scheduling dealer work; call Capacity customer service at 1-800-323-0135 if you need timing.
- Reference recall number 23V315 when you call Capacity or a franchised Capacity dealer.
- Schedule the free retaining-clip repair once it opens; the clip keeps the passenger-side jump-seat pivot rod from sliding.
- Avoid using the passenger-side jump seat until the retaining clip is installed.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer repair is still under development, so do not treat this as a repair that can be scheduled now. Once Capacity opens the remedy, a Capacity technician will install the required retaining clip for the passenger side jump seat pivot rod. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. For prior out-of-pocket work tied to the missing retaining clip, contact Capacity customer service at 1-800-323-0135 and ask how to use the general reimbursement plan on file.
