SEATS
Issued by Villa International · Reported Jan 11, 2024 · 35 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Villa International is recalling certain seat pedestals, with part number 400029. The pedestal mounting plate may be improperly welded, which can cause the plate to separate and the seat assembly to loosen or detach. As such, these seat assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems," and number 210, "Seat belt assembly anchorages."
Consequence
A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury.
Remedy
Villa International will work with the affected vehicle manufacturers to inspect for a missing weld and replace the pedestal, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 15, 2024. Owners may contact Villa International customer service at 1-888-707-7272.
