What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where seat mounting brackets may be incorrectly installed, which can cause seats to detach during a crash and increase the risk of occupant injury.

Plain-English summary

Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Fleetwood Excursion vehicles manufactured between July 16, 2013, and November 5, 2014, and 2015 Holiday Rambler Ambassador vehicles manufactured between August 7, 2014, and October 23, 2014. The recall affects 345 vehicles.

On the affected vehicles, a seat pedestal mounting support bracket may not have been installed according to engineering specifications. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 207, "Seating Systems," and No. 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." An incorrectly installed seat pedestal can cause the seat to detach from the floor, failing to restrain the occupant and increasing the risk of occupant injury in the event of a vehicle crash.

ARG will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install new mounting bracket hardware if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2014. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 141117ARG.
