The risk
The screw attachment of the two seatbelts between the seats of the pull-out bench in the vehicle living area is incorrectly installed. Instead of the steel angle provided, only the weld spots of the nut hold the belt end-point in place. The nut could break off under stress, leaving the belts loose and useless.
Product: Camper van.
