NHTSA recall 04V244000
Seat Belts · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Certain seat belt buckles on some motor homes fail to conform to the load requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Why it matters: The seat belt buckle may unlatch in the event of a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in personal injury to the seat occupant.
The fix: Amsafe will notify customers and replace the buckles. The recall began May 28, 2004. Owners should contact amsafe at 1-574-266-8330 or newmar at 1-574-773-7791.
