Recall 10V467 covers 1,925 2005-2009 Itasca Sunova and Sightseer motor homes for tear-prone dinette seat belt anchors. Free repair at any franchised Itasca dealer.
Itasca is recalling 1,925 2005-2009 Sunova and Sightseer motor homes because dinette seat belt anchorages can tear away from the vehicle body in a crash. If the restraint separates, the belt will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury or death; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The dinette seat belt restraints in the recalled 2005-2009 Itasca Sunova and Sightseer motor homes are supposed to hold passengers at the table area during a crash. Each belt depends on an anchor point that ties the restraint to the body structure, so crash loads move from the belt into the vehicle instead of into the passenger.
On these motor homes, the dinette belt anchorage does not meet the required strength standard. In a collision, crash forces can tear the restraint attachment and let the anchor separate from the vehicle body. Once that happens, the belt no longer holds the seated passenger the way it was designed to hold.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt and anchor can look normal during everyday use, because the problem is the attachment strength under crash forces, not a loose buckle or a belt that stops latching.

What's the safety risk?
If the seat belt restraint separates from the vehicle during a crash, the belt will not properly hold the seat occupant. That increases the risk of injury or death to the occupant. Confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the recall repair with the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Itasca dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2005-2009 Itasca Sunova or Sightseer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Itasca dealer and ask whether the free dinette seat-belt anchorage repair is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 10V467 when you call the dealer.
- Avoid using the dinette seat belt until the dealer repairs the restraint attachment so the belt anchor stays secured in a crash.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and ask the dealer to confirm that parts and labor are covered.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Itasca technician repairs the dinette-area seat belt restraint anchorages covered by this recall. The work addresses the attachment point that can tear in a collision and allow the anchor to separate from the motor home body. The recall filing says this dealer repair is free of charge. It does not list a specific labor time, so ask the service desk how long the repair will take when you schedule the appointment.
