What's wrong?
The bucket seat pedestal is the metal base that anchors the driver and front passenger seats to the floor of the 2014-2015 Fleetwood Excursion and Ambassador motor homes. It also works with the front seat belt anchorages, because the seat and belt have to stay fixed in position when the motor home is moving or stopping.
On affected vehicles, a seat pedestal mounting support bracket was not installed according to the engineering specifications. That bracket is the reinforcement that helps secure the bucket seat pedestal to the structure below it. Without the bracket installed correctly, the seat mounting system does not meet the federal seating and seat belt anchorage standards named in recall 14V756.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat can look normal from inside the coach, so an owner cannot confirm this defect by feel, sound, or a dashboard light.
