Roadtrek Motorhomes Recalled for Weak Second-Row Seat Anchor Brackets

Erwin Hymer is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek motorhomes because second-row seat anchor brackets may lack sufficient strength, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

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 where seat anchor brackets may fail in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek E-Trek, RS Adventurous, CS Adventurous, and TS Adventurous motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis. The recall affects vehicles equipped with one or two second-row captain's chairs with integrated seat belts. The seat pedestal base anchor brackets to the chassis frame may not have enough strength to prevent the seat and seat belt from moving in the event of a crash. Consequently, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 210 and 207.

In the event of a crash, the second-row captain seats may not provide adequate protection for occupants, increasing their risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Dealers will remove the seatbelt(s) in the affected units and install a label advising that the second-row seat is not to be occupied while the vehicle is in motion. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-464-3735 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
