Itasca / Winnebago recall: Seat belts

What is wrong

Winnebago is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2009 winnebago sightseer and itasca sunova 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.

What could happen

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.

The fix

Winnebago will notify owners a dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on december 10, 2010. Owners may contact winnebago at 1-800-537-1885.
