The short answer

NHTSA received Villa International’s report on Sep 11, 2025. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

A loose or detached seat assembly increases the risk of injury.

Villa International is recalling certain pedestals and seat anchorages, part number 400004.

The pedestal mounting plate may be improperly welded, causing the plate to separate and the seat assembly to loosen or detach.

As such, these seat assemblies fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 207, “Seating Systems,” and 210, “Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
