NHTSA recall 04V403000
Seat Belts · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: On certain motor homes, during manufacturing, the seat belt shoulder harness attachment location for the passenger seat was not properly welded or attached.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash, the shoulder harness may become loose or unattached causing serious injury to anyone in the passenger seat.
The fix: Dealers will install a new plate over existing by drilling four attachment holes on each side of new plate and add securing bolts. This recall began October 1, 2004.
