The defect
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2017 Aria motorhomes. The driver's side sofa seatbelts may be too short for passengers to use.
The risk
In the event of a crash, an occupant not restrained by a seatbelt has an increased risk of injury.
The remedy
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install longer seatbelts, free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000127.
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.
