Seat Belts:front:warning Light/devices

NHTSA recall 19V690000 · announced October 1, 2019 · filed by Jayco, Inc. · 446 units affected

The problem

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Redhawk SE motorhomes. The seatbelt-unfastened warning light will not illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is moved to the "on" or "start" position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

The risk

Without the seatbelt warning reminder, the driver may forget to fasten the seatbelt, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

What to do

GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster, free of charge. The recall began October 9, 2019. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 or Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137.
