Villa International (Villa) is recalling certain Villa ISS GSK driver and passenger seats. These seats were used in certain model year 2013 Tiffin Allegro Bus, and 2014 American Coach brand American Tradition, Eagle, and Revolution motorhomes. The seat belt attachment may be incorrect and the seat belt may fray if it rubs along a steel bracket in the seat, reducing its strength. As such, these seats do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, “Seat Belt Assemblies.”
