What's wrong?
The seat belt retractor in a 2025 Winnebago View or Navion is the spool mechanism beside the front seat that lets the belt pull out, retract, and lock when needed. It keeps normal belt movement smooth, then holds the belt tight during a sudden stop or crash.
On these motorhomes, a screw installed near the driver or passenger front seat belt retractor was too long and was placed inside an area where drilling was not allowed. That screw can contact the retractor and damage it, which interferes with the belt's ability to pull out, retract, or lock as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on a sound, light, or change in belt feel to confirm the problem, because the issue is found by inspecting the retractor and screw placement.
Who's affected?
The View and Navion share the same front seat belt retractor component in this scope.

What's the safety risk?
Damage inside the seat belt retractor can keep the belt from securing the occupant correctly, increasing injury risk during a crash. Keep passengers in properly working belted seats and schedule the dealer inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Winnebago dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Winnebago technician inspects the driver and passenger seat belt retractors. The technician adjusts the screw placement or replaces the screw so it does not contact the retractor. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid for a related seat belt retractor repair before the recall notice, Winnebago's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring invoices or receipts to the service desk.
