Issue
Certain motorhomes may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 210 – Seat Belt Anchorages. During production, the floor that was installed did not have the proper reinforcement brackets and plates, and as a result, the seat belt anchorages located in the slide out of the motorhome fail to meet the attachment strength requirements of the standard. This could result in seat belts detaching from the vehicle in a crash, thereby failing to properly restrain occupants and would increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will install the required reinforcement brackets and plates to insure the seat belt attachments meet the strength requirements of the CMVSS 210 standard.
