NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Winnebago Industries Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Aspect and Itasca Cambria (models 730C and 730J) motorhomes, manufactured March 12, 2012, through May 31, 2013. The child seat tether is mounted in an improper position.
The risk
This improper position does not allow the child seat to be used properly and in the event of a crash, it will not allow the child seat to properly protect the occupant which increases the risk of injury.
The remedy
Winnebago will notify owners and dealers will remove the child tether, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2013. Owners may contact Winnebago at 1-800-537-1885 or [email protected]. Winnebago's campaign number is 130.
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.
