Details

What's wrong: The seat belt assemblies on certain motor homes fail to comply with the loop load requirements 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 replace the buckles. Owners should contact amsafe at 574-266-8330 or tiffin at 1-256-356-8661.
