What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTORHOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS," AND NO. 210 "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES." THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE BOLTS CAN FAIL.
What can happen
THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ANCHORAGE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE SEAT FRAME, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
VILLA INTERNATIONAL WILL INSPECT THE BELT LATCH BOLT AND INSTALL A BUSHING AND A GRADE 5 BOLT (SEE 03E-061).

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
