What is wrong
Villa International is recalling certain pedestals and seat anchorages, part number 400004. The pedestal mounting plate may be improperly welded, causing the plate to separate and the seat assembly to loosen or detach. As such, these seat assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, Seating Systems,", and number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."
What can happen
A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Villa International will work with the affected vehicle manufacturers to inspect for a missing weld, and replace the pedestal, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 9, 2024. Owners may contact Villa International customer service at 1-888-707-7272.

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.
