The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the following recall:
WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES
Seat Belt Retractor May Lock/FMVSS 208 and 209
If the seat belt retractor locks, a passenger may believe they are trapped in the vehicle, increasing the injury risk.
Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,566.
Winnebago is recalling certain 2021-2022 Solis, Travato, and Ekko vehicles, equipped with GE-ES Double Flipseats. The seat belt retractors may lock up when the vehicle is on a slight incline. As such, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards numbers 208, “Occupant Crash Protection” and 209, “Seat Belt Assemblies.”
Winnebago will work with Freedman to notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat and repair, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Winnebago customer service at 1-614-585-6939 or 1-800-537-1885 or Freedman customer service at 1-800-443-4540.
