The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat bracket) that may break in a crash, increasing the risk of injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

The RV Factory LLC is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Avion Azure motorhomes manufactured between January 1, 2014, and September 24, 2015. The recall addresses a defect where the underfloor seat bracket used to mount the second row seats may have an improperly placed weld.
