Plain-English summary

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain 2010 model year Discovery 40G and 40X Class A motor homes manufactured between November 25, 2009, and January 8, 2010. The recall addresses a defect where the seat belts located on the sofa bed may not be adequately mounted for effective occupant restraint, failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210.
