What's wrong?
The seat belt anchorages in the 2010 Fleetwood Discovery are the mounting points that hold the sofa bed seat belts to the motor home structure. In normal use, those anchorages are supposed to keep the belt attached and positioned so the occupant on the sofa bed stays restrained during a crash or hard stop.
On the affected Discovery motor homes, the sofa bed seat belts were not mounted adequately for effective occupant restraint. That means the belt itself is present, but the structure holding it is not secure enough to meet the required seat belt anchorage standard. If the anchorage pulls loose or shifts under crash forces, the belt cannot do its job.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is unlikely to feel a change during normal driving, because the problem is in how the belt is mounted and loaded during a crash event.

What's the safety risk?
In a crash, the sofa bed seat belt mountings do not provide adequate protection, increasing the risk of personal injury for passengers using that belt. There is no warning sign before a crash exposes the problem, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule service. Repair will be free at any franchised Fleetwood dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Fleetwood Discovery is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Fleetwood dealer or Fleetwood customer service at 1-800-509-3418 for repair instructions.
- Ask for an inspection of the sofa-bed seat belt mountings; the free repair moves weak mountings to a floor-mounted location when needed.
- Bring the recall notice if Fleetwood mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V226 when you call.
- Avoid using the sofa-bed seating position for travel until the seat belt anchorage inspection and repair are complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fleetwood technician inspects the sofa bed seat belt mountings. If the mountings are not in the correct location, the technician reinstalls them to a floor mounted location so the sofa bed seat belts can restrain occupants as intended. The source remedy says the safety recall began on May 31, 2010, and the service is performed free of charge. Contact a Fleetwood dealer with the campaign number and your VIN so the service desk can confirm the repair path for your Discovery motor home.
