What happened

Allied Recreation Group is recalling certain 2013-2014 American Coach-brand American Eagle and American Revolution motor homes, as well as certain 2013 American Tradition motor homes equipped with specific Villa ISS GSK powered driver and passenger seats. The seat belt attachment hardware may be installed incorrectly, and the seat belt webbing may fray where it rubs against a steel bracket in the seat, which can weaken the belt and prevent it from properly restraining an occupant during a crash.

Owners will be notified by Allied, and dealers will inspect the seat belt attachment hardware and webbing at no charge. If necessary, dealers will reinstall the seat belts using new hardware and a protective sheath, and replace the webbing if damage is found. According to the record, owners should contact American Coach Owner Relations at 1-800-435-7345, and can reference Allied's recall number 140609ARG.
