What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES". THE SEAT BELTS ON THE SIDE-FACING REAR SEATS ARE ADEQUATE FOR SOME ADULTS BUT TOO SHORT TO BUCKLE AROUND ALL PASSENGERS.

The remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, WHERE NECESSARY, INSTALL LONGER SEAT BELTS WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORHOMES.SYSTEM: INTERIOR; SEAT BELTS.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: LACK OF ADEQUATE SEAT BELT PROTECTION INCREASES THERISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

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.
