What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The two front seat belts were recalled and replaced by an authorized dealer. After the repairs were made the consumer realized the remounting of the new seat belts prevented the seats from rotating 180 degrees and the consumer can no longer use the eat for additional seating in the living room area of the motorhome.
The vehicle did not come equipped with a shoulder harness, the dealer replaced the old belts, however they did not restrain the consumer.
Brakes failed, replacement of brakes and master cylinder/pistons did not rectify failure, addition installation of heat shield needed to prevent overheating of fluid which contributed to failures.
