Seat Belt may be Difficult to Unlatch/FMVSS 209

NHTSA #13V580000 · Seat Belts — Front — Buckle Assembly · NHTSA notice

Reported November 20, 2013 · Fleetwood RV, Inc.

Potentially affected: 774 vehicles

Repair completion: 81.04% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Fleetwood campaign 131112FRV · Owners notified January 17, 2014 · Vehicles built August 21, 2013 – November 4, 2013 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Fleetwood RV, Inc. (Fleetwood) is recalling certain model year 2014 model American Eagle, American Heritage, American Revolution, American Tradition, Bounder, Bounder Classic, Discovery, Excursion, Expedition, Providence, South Wind, Storm, Terra, Terra SE, Jamboree Searcher, Jamboree Sport, Tioga Montara, and Tioga Ranger recreational vehicles equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt assemblies. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Safety consequence

If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

Manufacturer remedy

Fleetwood will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckle, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2014. Owners may contact Fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216. Fleetwood's recall number 131112FRV.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Unexpected Unfurling of the Awning

NHTSA #13V189000 · Equipment · NHTSA notice

Reported May 10, 2013 · Fleetwood RV, Inc.

Potentially affected: 196 vehicles

Owners notified July 17, 2013 · Vehicles built April 4, 2013 – April 15, 2013 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Jamboree Sport Diesel, Providence, Tioga DSL and Tioga Ranger DSL; 2014 Excursion, Expedition, Jamboree Sport, Montara Commercial, Searcher Commercial, Southwind, Storm, Terra, and Tioga Ranger; and 2013-2014 Bounder, Bounder Classic, and Discovery recreational vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with Weatherpro and 9100 series power awnings. Due to a design change in the power awning motor assembly, the motor assembly screws may unknowingly shear.

Safety consequence

If the motor assembly screws shear, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the vehicle is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Fleetwood RV will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with motors of a different design. The recall began during June 2013. Owners may contact Fleetwood RV Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418 or Dometic at 1-888-447-0003 for more information. Owners are being instructed not to drive their vehicle until repairs can be performed.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

ODI #10572708

Incident: June 14, 2013 · Filed: March 16, 2014

MY BOYFRIEND AND I PURCHASED OUR NEW RV IN MAY 2013. WE TOOK IT FOR OUR FIRST OUTING IN JUNE 2013. AS MY BOYFRIEND TURNED A RIGHT CORNER AT ABOUT 5 TO 7 MPH, THE SLIDE OUT COUNTER EXTENSION ROLLED OUT AND SMASHED INTO THE DINETTE SET, DIRECTLY ACROSS. THE SLIDE OUT COUNTER IS SECURED BY A SINGLE, SLIDING LATCH. WHEN THE COUNTER IS FULLY LOADED WITH UTENSILS AND OTHER ITEMS, IT EASILY WEIGHS 70+ POUNDS. WE IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED THE LATCH WITH A NEW ONE. ON OUR SECOND OUTING, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP "ADJUSTED" THE LATCH. DURING OUR THIRD DRIVE, THE LATCH WOULD SLIDE OPEN DURING LANE CHANGES. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK, WE EMPHASIZED THE FLIMSY LATCH COULD NOT SECURE THE HEAVY WEIGHT OF THE COUNTER. IF SOMEONE (PARTICULARLY MY YOUNG GRANDSON) HAD BEEN SEATED AT THE DINETTE, ANY OF THE SEVERAL IMPACTS WOULD HAVE CAUSED GREAT BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE MANUFACTURER, FLEETWOOD, INC, SAID THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THEY WOULD DO TO ADDRESS OUR CONCERN. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER DEFECTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. WE HAVE RETAINED AN ATTORNEY AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO SETTLE FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL. HOWEVER, FLEETWOOD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE ROLL OUT COUNTER ON THE TS-31 MODEL; STATING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO "LEMON LAW" THE RV. WHEN WE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP, ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TOLD US HE WOULD LET HIS MANAGEMENT KNOW ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY WOULD RETURN IT TO THE FLEETWOOD FACTORY, INSTEAD OF DOING A BUY BACK IF FLEETWOOD OFFERED ONE. OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO HAVE THE NHTSA CONDUCT A SAFETY REVIEW OF THIS ROLL OUT COUNTER FEATURE. FROM OUR OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, WHEN THE ROLL OUT IS LOADED WITH UTENSILS, IT CANNOT STAY SECURED WITH JUST A FLIMSY LATCH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
