What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON CHEVROLET CHASSIS, THE SAFETY BELT BUCKLES MAY NOT LATCH OR UNLATCH.

The risk

IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, A SEAT OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

The remedy

GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET IS CONDUCTING THIS RECALL (PLEASE SEE 05V558000) AND WILL INSPECT THE BUCKLES. IF THE BUCKLES ARE FOUND TO BE INOPERATIVE, THE ENTIRE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY WOULD BE REPLACED. FOR BUCKLES FOUND TO BE OPERATIVE, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ONLY THE UPPER BUCKLE COVER. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR R-VISION AT 574-268-2111.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://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.
