Seat Belts #10V470000 · 2010 · 2,496 units
Problem: Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2011 winnebago view and itasca navion motor homes because the dinette area seat belt restraints on those vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages." in a collision, the generated crash forces can cause the restraint's attachment to tear and allow the anchor to separate from the body of the vehicle.
Risk: If the restraint separates from the vehicle during a crash, the belt will not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death to the occupant.
Fix: Winnebago will add additional seat belt anchorages free of charge. the safety recall began on november 12, 2010. owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
