NHTSA recall 10V122000
Equipment Adaptive/Mobility · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Winnebago has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2008-2009 motorhomes fitted with ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving, unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however, that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the latching…
Why it matters: The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move without the restraint belt properly buckled.
The fix: Winnebago is working with ricon and ricon will be handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see ricon's defect report 09E-060. Ricon will provide customers with a warning decal and a dvd-based training aid. The safety recall began on July 6, 2010.
