CarRecallWatch- Component
- SEATS
- Problem
- Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek E-Trek, RS Adventurous, CS Adventurous, and TS Adventurous motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis and equipped with one or two second row captain's chairs, with integrated seat belts. The seat pedestal base anchor brackets to the chassis fame may not have enough strength to prevent the seat and seat belt from moving 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" and 207, "Seating Systems."
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, the second-row captain seats may not provide adequate protection for occupants, increasing their risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove the seatbelt(s) in the affected units and install a label, which advises that the second-row seat is not to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735. Erwin Hymer's number for this recall is 2019-01.
- 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.
What this recall means for you
The second-row captain's chairs in these motorhomes may not be securely anchored to the vehicle frame. The seat pedestal brackets may not be strong enough to keep the seat and its seat belt from moving during a crash, so the seats may not provide adequate protection and passengers in them face a higher risk of injury.
The remedy is to have an authorized dealer remove the seat belt(s) in the affected second-row seats and install a label stating that the seat is not to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. The repair is free of charge. Owners can also contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735 (recall number 2019-01).
Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your motorhome is included and to see whether any other recall work is pending.
