Jayco Recalls 2016 Alante Motorhomes Due to Seat Belt Anchor Defect

Jayco is recalling 2016 Alante motorhomes because dinette seat belts may lack proper anchoring plates, increasing injury risk in crashes.

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 seat belts may detach in a crash, increasing injury risk, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Jayco, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 Alante motorhomes manufactured between November 3, 2015, and November 23, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with forward and rearward-facing dinette seats where the seat belts may not have the proper plate to anchor the seat belt brackets. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

The defect can allow the seat belt end to detach from the vehicle in the event of a crash. A seat belt that is not properly anchored to the vehicle may not restrain the occupant in a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct seat belt bracket backer plate free of charge. The recall began on February 11, 2016. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-517-9137 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
