Seat Belts

NHTSA recall 14E015000 · announced April 10, 2014 · American Coach · 88 units affected

The problem

Villa International (Villa) is recalling certain Villa ISS driver and passenger GSK seats. These seats were used in certain model year 2014 Tiffin Allegro Bus and Zephyr recreational vehicles, 2015 American Coach brand American Eagle, American Tradition, and American Revolution recreational vehicles, and 2014 Jayco Entegra Cornerstone recreational vehicles. 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 risk

The weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Villa will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers and the manufacturer's dealers will contact the vehicle owners. Owners may contact Villa at 1-888-707-7272.

Notes

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.
