What's wrong?

The sofa seat belt anchorage in affected 2011-2017 Renegade Rv motor coaches is the hardware that holds the belt to the vehicle structure. It is supposed to transfer crash loads from the belt into the floor framing, so a belted passenger stays restrained while the coach moves or stops suddenly.

On these vehicles, some sofa seat belts were mounted directly to the floor during original production. The floor framing does not provide enough structural support for that attachment. In a crash, the anchorage hardware can pull out of the floor framing instead of holding the belt in place. The repair adds an attachment plate so the seat belt mounting hardware meets the required anchorage strength.

There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can look normal and latch normally because the problem is hidden in the floor attachment, not in the buckle or webbing you handle.

Who's affected?

The included model lines share the same seat-belt anchorage component, so scope turns on the exact build and VIN rather than the model family alone.
