Tiffin recall: Seat belts
What is wrong
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2013 Allegro Bus recreational vehicles equipped with Villa ISS GSK driver and passenger 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, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
What could happen
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 for the correct seat belt installation, or re-assemble the seat belt correctly with proper attachment hardware if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661.
