The problem
On certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis, the safety belt buckles may not latch or unlatch.
The risk
In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury or death.
The fix
General motors is conducting this recall (please see 05v558000) and will inspect the buckles and, if found to be inoperative, the entire buckle assembly would be replaced. For buckles found to be operative, dealers will replace only the upper buckle cover. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or jayco at 1-574-825-0608.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.
