Roadtrek Recall 19V450000: Seats

NHTSA recall 19V450000 · announced June 13, 2019 · filed by Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. · 1,701 units affected

The problem

Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek E-Trek, RS Adventurous, CS Adventurous, and TS Adventurous motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis and equipped with one or two second row captain's chairs, with integrated seat belts. The seat pedestal base anchor brackets to the chassis fame may not have enough strength to prevent the seat and seat belt from moving in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages" and 207, "Seating Systems."

The risk

In the event of a crash, the second-row captain seats may not provide adequate protection for occupants, increasing their risk of injury.

What to do

Dealers will remove the seatbelt(s) in the affected units and install a label, which advises that the second-row seat is not to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735. Erwin Hymer's number for this recall is 2019-01.
