Recall 15V-848: 2016 Jayco Alante Class A 31L
Jayco, Inc. recall for seat belts, reported to NHTSA on Dec 17, 2015, covering about 67 vehicles.
The problem
Jayco Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain model year 2016 Alante motorhomes manufactured November 3, 2015, to November 23, 2015. The affected vehicles have forward and rearward facing dinette seats whose seat belts may not have the proper plate to anchor the seat belt brackets. This can allow the seat belt end to detach from the vehicle 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."
The risk
A seat belt that is not properly anchored to the vehicle may not restrain the occupant in a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix
Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct seat belt bracket backer plate, free of charge. The recall began on February 11, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137. Jayco's number for this recall is 9903273.
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.
