Details

What's wrong: Tiffin motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2014 Allegro Bus recreational vehicles equipped with certain villa International abts driver and passenger abts seats. The seat belt attachment may be incorrect and the seat belt may fray if it rubs along a steel bracket in the seat, reducing its strength. As such, these seats do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 209,…

Why it matters: The weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, repair the single link system with fasteners and re-attaching the seat belt bracket, free of charge. The recall began in August 18, 2014.
