NHTSA recall 21V480000
Seat Belts · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Winnebago industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Solis, Travato, and Ekko vehicles, equipped with ge-es double flipseats. The seat belt retractors may lock up when the vehicle is on a slight incline. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards numbers 208, "occupant crash protection" and 209, "seat belt assemblies."
Why it matters: If the seat belt retractor locks, a passenger may believe they are trapped in the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Winnebago will work with freedman to notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat and repair, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 23, 2021.
