What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

1) THE SEAT SYSTEM SLIDE TRACKS DO NOT ALLOW THE SEATS TO SLIDE, AND THERE IS AN INCORRECT ANGLE OF THE UPPER TORSO SAFETY BELT CAUSED BY NON-CHRYSLER HARDWARE AT THE SHOULDER SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGES.

The risk

THE VEHICLES DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 207,"SEATING SYSTEMS" AND FMVSS 210 "SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES". OCCUPANTS OFTHE AFFECTED SEATS WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED IN THE EVENT OF A SUDDENSTOP OR ACCIDENT.

The remedy

REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SEAT SLIDES WITH A STRONGER DOUBLE LOCKING SLIDE TRACK; REPLACE THE LONG SLIDE TRACKS WITH SHORTER SLIDE TRACKS, AND REPLACE THE NON-CHRYSLER SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGES WITH CONFORMING CHRYLSER HARDWARE.

Notes

SYSTEM: INTERIOR SYSTEMS; FMVSS 207 AND FMVSS 210.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIMOTOR HOMES BUILT ON DODGE B-250 AND B-350 MAXIVANCHASSIS.

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.
