5 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

08V628000 · Exterior Lighting:Tail Lights

Reported: 2008-12-02 (December 2, 2008) · Model years: 2006, 2007, 2008

ROADTREK IS RECALLING 335 MY 2006-2008 SS AGILE AND RS ADVENTUROUS CLASS "B" MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON DODGE AND FREIGHTLINER SPRINTER 2500 VAN CHASSIS.

Consequence: THIS LACK OF VISIBILITY COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SUPPLEMENTARY TAIL LIGHT ON THE FIBERGLASS COVER OF THE SPARE TIRE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT ROADTREK AT 1-888-762-3873.

18V001000 · Equipment

Reported: 2018-01-02 (January 2, 2018) · Model years: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018

Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling certain 2012-2018 Roadtrek E-trek, CS Adventurous, RS Adventurous, SS Agile, Zion, Zion SRT, Simplicity, Simplicity SRT, Hymer Aktiv, Aktiv 2.0, Sonne, Carado Banff, Axion, and Sunlight Van One vehicles. These motorhomes are equipped with Kidde E10 or EH10 Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher.

Consequence: If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.

Remedy: Erwin Hymer will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 8, 2018. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-413-8245, or Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

19V450000 · Seats

Reported: 2019-06-13 (June 13, 2019) · Model years: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019

Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. (Erwin Hymer) is recalling 2013-2019 Roadtrek E-Trek, RS Adventurous, CS Adventurous, and TS Adventurous motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis and equipped with one or two second row captain's chairs, with integrated seat belts. The seat pedestal base anchor brackets to the chassis fame may not have enough strength to prevent the seat and seat belt from moving in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages" and 207, "Seating Systems."

Consequence: In the event of a crash, the second-row captain seats may not provide adequate protection for occupants, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy: Dealers will remove the seatbelt(s) in the affected units and install a label, which advises 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. Erwin Hymer's number for this recall is 2019-01.

The affected vehicles have electrical wiring connections under the front seats that can become dislodged or damaged and prevent the optional front seat SH9 Thorax air bags from deploying.

Consequence: If the front thorax air bag fails to deploy in the event of a crash, the seat occupant has a increased risk of injury.

Remedy: Roadtrek will notify owners, and dealers will modify the electrical connections, free of charge. The recall began on August 20, 2015. Owners may contact Roadtrek customer service at 1-888-762-3873.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY INFORMATION NOTICE (NHTSA 19V450 / TRANSPORT CANADA 2019-309) STATING THE TWO REAR SEAT SEATBELTS ARE NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONAL. THE RESOLUTION IS TO HAVE THE DEALER ADHERE A STICKER TO THE SEATBELT SAYING THE SEATS SHOULD NOT BE USED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MY SIMPLE QUESTION IS HOW CAN A SAFETY NOTICE AND RECALL SOLUTION BE THE MAKE HALF OF THE SEATING IN THE VEHICLE NON-FUNCTIONAL - AS OPPOSED TO FIXING THE SEATBELT ISSUE.
