What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON SOME MOTOR HOMES, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS MAY NOT BE SECURED TO THE CHASSIS IN COMPLETE CONFORMITY TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "SEAT MOUNTING SYSTEMS", AND NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES". THIS IS DUE PRIMARILY TO THE OMISSION OF CERTAIN WASHERS OR THE USE OF WRONG SIZED WASHERS WHEN SEATS WERE RE-ATTACHED AFTER CARPET INSTALLATION.

The remedy

VEHICLES WILL BE CHECKED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION OF SPECIFIED WASHERS. ANY MISSING OR INCORRECT WASHERS WILL BE RECTIFIED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES.SYSTEM: INTERIOR; SEAT ASSEMBLIES.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: SEAT COULD PULL LOOSE IN A COLLISION AND THE POSSIBILTYOF INJURY TO FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS WOULD BE INCREASED.

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.
