2nd Row Seats May not Provide Crash Protection

NHTSA #19V450000 · Seats · NHTSA notice

Reported June 13, 2019 · Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc.

Potentially affected: 1,701 vehicles

Manufacturer campaign 2019-01 · Owners notified January 6, 2020 · Vehicles built September 1, 2013 – February 15, 2019 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek E-Trek, RS Adventurous, CS Adventurous, and TS Adventurous motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis and equipped with one or two second row captain's chairs, with integrated seat belts. The seat pedestal base anchor brackets to the chassis fame may not have enough strength to prevent the seat and seat belt from moving in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages" and 207, "Seating Systems."

Safety consequence

In the event of a crash, the second-row captain seats may not provide adequate protection for occupants, increasing their risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will remove the seatbelt(s) in the affected units and install a label, which advises that the second-row seat is not to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735. Erwin Hymer's number for this recall is 2019-01.

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.
