What happened

Villa International is recalling certain Villa ISS GSK driver and passenger seats used in 2013 Tiffin Allegro Bus motorhomes and 2014 American Coach brand American Tradition, Eagle, and Revolution motorhomes. The seat belt attachment may be incorrect, and the seat belt may fray if it rubs against a steel bracket in the seat, which weakens it and could prevent it from properly restraining an occupant during a crash.

Affected owners should contact Villa at 1-888-707-7272. Villa will notify vehicle manufacturers, and dealers will install a spacer and protective sheath onto the retractor side of the seat belt at no charge to the owner.
