DINETTE AREA SEAT BELTS/FMVSS 210

NHTSA #10V470000 · Seat Belts · NHTSA notice

Reported October 5, 2010 · WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC.

Potentially affected: 2,496 vehicles

Manufacturer campaign 118 · Owners notified November 12, 2010 · Vehicles built March 18, 2005 – July 19, 2010 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

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.

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer remedy

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.

THE TURBO RESONATORS ON 2002-2007, 2.7 MERCEDES BENZ DIESEL ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE! I AM ON MY THIRD ONE, AND I ONLY HAVE 15,000 MILES ON MY ENGINE, WHICH IS IN A 2007 ITASCA NAVION MOTOR HOME. WHEN THEY GO OUT ON THE INTERSTATE, YOU ARE PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GO OVER 45 MPH, AND YOU'RE LIFE IS PUT IN DANGER. I HAVE EMAILED MERCEDES BENZ/DODGE/WINNEBAGO AND THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT THEY DO!! I HAVE GONE ONLINE SEARCHING OUT THIS DEFECT AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, DUE TO THEIR TURBO RESONATOR GOING BAD. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WARRANTS A RECALL, TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND WE NEED YOUR INTERVENTION.. THERE IS A COMPANY THAT MAKES A REPLACEMENT TURBO RESONATOR AND GUARANTEES IT FOR THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE, BUT MERCEDES BENZ NOR DODGE WILL PUT IT ON, INSTEAD THEY KEEP REPLACING IT WITH ONE THAT WILL NOT WITHSTAND THE VIBRATION AND HEAT OF THE TURBO.SO, IN ABOUT 4000 MILES, WHEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN, I PRAY I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY, THEN HOPE THERE'S A DODGE DEALER CLOSE BY TO REPAIR IT QUICKLY. PLEASE HELP US BEFORE WE MIGHT BECOME A HIGHWAY STATISTIC. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Incident: May 28, 2010 · Filed: June 2, 2010

I HAVE A 2007 ITASCA NAVION WITH A 2.7 MERCEDES BENZ DIESEL ENGINE ON A DODGE SPRINTER CHASSIS. THIS PAST SATURDAY, MAY 29, 2010, I HAD TO TAKE MY RV INTO KINGS DODGE TO HAVE MY THIRD RESONATOR REPLACED BECAUSE WHEN ONE GOES OUT, YOU CANNOT GO OVER 45 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THIS IS DANGEROUS. MY RV ONLY HAS 15,649 MILES ON IT!, SO I THINK THAT A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE, BY YOU, SO MERCEDES BENZ CORRECTS THIS RESONATOR PROBLEM. I GOT ONLINE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF RESONATOR COMPLAINTS THERE WERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.. *TR
