NHTSA #10V470000 · Seat Belts · NHTSA notice

Reported October 5, 2010 · WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC.

Potentially affected: 2,496 vehicles

Winnebago 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."
