Villa Recalls Defective Seat Belts in Jayco, Tiffin, and American Coach RVs

Villa International is recalling specific driver and passenger seats used in 2014-2015 Jayco, Tiffin, and American Coach recreational vehicles because the seat belt attachment may be incorrect and the belt may fray, reducing its strength.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a safety restraint system may fail, increasing the risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Villa International is recalling certain Villa ISS driver and passenger GSK seats. These seats were used in model year 2014 Tiffin Allegro Bus and Zephyr recreational vehicles, 2015 American Coach American Eagle, American Tradition, and American Revolution recreational vehicles, and 2014 Jayco Entegra Cornerstone recreational vehicles.

The seat belt attachment may be incorrect, and the seat belt may fray if it rubs along a steel bracket in the seat, reducing its strength. As a result, these seats do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies." The weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Villa will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers, and the manufacturer's dealers will contact the vehicle owners. Owners may also contact Villa at 1-888-707-7272 or 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.
