2011-2012 Campagna V13R Recall 12V322: Seat Belt Buckle

Recall 12V322 affects 67 2011-2012 Campagna V13R three-wheel vehicles for reversed seat-belt-buckle hardware. Inspection and repair are free at any franchised Campagna dealer.

Campagna is recalling 67 2011-2012 V13R three-wheel vehicles because the seat belt buckle assembly on the chassis has an installation problem involving reversed mounting hardware. In a frontal impact, the defect can leave the seat occupant without adequate restraint and raise injury risk; the dealer repair will be free once Campagna makes it available.

What's wrong?

The seat belt buckle assembly on the 2011-2012 Campagna V13R is the latch point mounted to the chassis. The buckle locks the belt's latch plate in place, and the chassis mounting point carries belt force into the vehicle frame during a hard stop.

On affected V13R vehicles, the buckle assembly was installed with the mounting hardware reversed. That means the buckle attachment is not arranged the way Campagna designed it. The concern is the anchorage itself, because the belt depends on that hardware staying secure when the seat belt is under load.

There is no warning sign before failure. The buckle can latch and the vehicle can look normal until the belt is loaded in a sudden stop or crash.

Who's affected?

Two model years are included, both tied to the same front seat belt anchorage component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

In a frontal crash, the seat occupant can be inadequately restrained and injured. If your VIN is included, schedule the inspection before relying on the vehicle for regular travel. Repair will be free at any franchised Campagna dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2011-2012 Campagna V13R is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Campagna customer service at 1-877-641-2112 for dealer instructions and reference recall number 12V322 when you call.
  3. Schedule the free seat-belt buckle inspection and repair that corrects the reversed mounting hardware.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Campagna mailed one, plus any repair paperwork tied to the seat belt buckle.
  5. Avoid carrying a passenger until the seat belt buckle repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Campagna technician inspects the seat belt buckle assembly where it attaches to the vehicle chassis. The recall concerns buckle mounting hardware that was installed in the wrong order on affected 2011 and 2012 V13R vehicles. If the inspection finds that condition, the technician repairs the installation so the buckle hardware is positioned correctly. Campagna's remedy states that the inspection and repair are free of charge. The dealer repair will be free once available.
