On certain motorhomes, the seat belt for the companion seat (behind the driver) may not have been assembled correctly. As a result, the seat belt may not work as designed in a crash.
A seat belt that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Winnebago will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorhome to a dealer to inspect the seat belt bracket for the companion seat. A new nut will be installed to secure the seat belt bracket.
On certain motorhomes, the front overhead cabinet shelf may detach. If this happens, the shelf and contents may fall into the cab area.
