What's wrong?
The front seat mounting bolts on 2022 Roadtrek Zion SRT, Zion, Zion Slumber, and Chase motorhomes fasten the driver and passenger seats to the floor structure. Those bolts need the correct torque, which means they are tightened to the specified force so the seat stays secured under load. Roadtrek used green paint marks to show that this tightening step was completed.
The problem is the missing confirmation mark. During a final audit, Roadtrek found passenger seat mounting bolts without the green paint marks that show the bolts were torqued to specification. After checking production, inventory, and inspection files, Roadtrek identified 36 shipped motorhomes without inspection confirmation, so the front seat mounting bolts were treated as suspect.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is unlikely to feel or hear a loose mounting bolt before the seat moves under load, so the issue has to be checked by inspection and corrected by the dealer.
Who's affected?
The scope spans four Roadtrek motorhome models tied to the same seat assembly fastening issue.

What's the safety risk?
A loose seat mounting bolt can keep the seat from properly restraining an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Repair is free at any franchised Roadtrek dealer.
