Villa International "Villa" is recalling certain Villa ISS GSK driver and passenger seats. These seats were used in certain model year 2013 Tiffin Allegro Bus, and 2014 American Coach brand American Tradition, Eagle, and Revolution motorhomes. The seat belt attachment may be incorrect and the seat belt may fray if it rubs along a steel bracket in the seat, reducing its strength. As such, these seats do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
The weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Villa will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers and the manufacturer's dealers will install a spacer and protective sheath onto the retractor side of the seat belt, free of charge. Owners may contact Villa at 1-888-707-7272.
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.
