Details
What's wrong: Certain motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 207, "seating systems," and no. 210 "seat belt assembly anchorages." The seat belt anchorage bolts can fail.
Why it matters: The seat belt buckle anchorage can separate from the seat frame, which could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the belt latch bolt and install a bushing and a grade 5 bolt. Owner notification began March 4, 2004.
