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: Dealers will replace the buckles. The recall began on November 12, 2004. Owners should contact amsafe at 1-574-266-8330 or winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
