Summary: FLEETWOOD RV IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 DISCOVERY MODEL 40G AND 40X CLASS A MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 25, 2009 THROUGH JANUARY 8, 2010 FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 210, “SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ACHORAGES.” THE SEAT BELTS LOCATED ON THE SOFA BED MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY MOUNTED FOR EFFECTIVE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT.
