What happened

Winnebago Industries is recalling certain 2008 Voyage and Itasca Sunrise motor homes, as well as 2009-2011 Adventurer and Itasca Suncruiser motor homes. The dinette area seat belt restraints on these vehicles do not meet federal safety standards. In a collision, crash forces can cause the seat belt attachment to tear, allowing the anchor to separate from the vehicle body. If the restraint separates during a crash, the belt will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death.

Winnebago will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on December 17, 2010. Affected consumers should contact Winnebago at 1-800-537-1885 to arrange for the repair.
