Villa International is recalling 16 seat pedestals and seat anchorages (part number 400004) because the mounting plate may have been improperly welded. This defect can cause the mounting plate to separate, leading to the seat assembly loosening or detaching completely from the vehicle. Villa International is working with vehicle manufacturers to inspect affected units and replace the pedestals free of charge.
If the seat pedestal or anchorage fails, the seat could become loose or detached while the vehicle is in motion or during a crash. This significantly increases the risk of injury to the occupant as the seat and seat belt may not remain properly secured to the vehicle floor.
Inspection for missing welds and pedestal replacement.
Affected units fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 207 and 210.
