Seats; seat belts:front:anchorage
Problem: Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Fleetwood Excursion vehicles manufactured July 16, 2013, to November 5, 2014, and 2015 Holiday Rambler Ambassador vehicles manufactured August 7, 2014, to October 23, 2014. On the affected vehicles, a seat pedestal mounting support bracket may not have been installed according to engineering specifications. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 207, "Seating Systems," and No. 210 "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Risk: An incorrectly installed seat pedestal can cause the seat to detach from the floor, failing to retrain the occupant and increasing the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
Fix: ARG will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new mounting bracket hardware if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2014. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 141117ARG.
Seat belts:front:buckle assembly
Problem: 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."
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.
Equipment
Problem: 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.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.
