Defect. Ride The Ducks International LLC (RTDI) is recalling certain 1996-2014 Stretch Amphibious and Truck Amphibious passenger vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with 'Captain's Chair'-style driver's seats and non-retractable lap belt seat belt assemblies. The seats, seat belt assemblies and seat belt anchorage systems may not adequately secure the driver in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems", 208, "Occupant Crash Protection", 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies", and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Risk. If the driver seat, seat belt assemblies, or seat belt anchorages fail to restrain the driver in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. RTDI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's seats and seat belt assembly, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2017. Owners may contact RTDI customer service at 1-417-266-7600.

Defect. Ride The Ducks International LLC (RTDI) is recalling certain 1996-2014 Stretch Amphibious Passenger and Truck Amphibious Passenger vehicles. The instrument cluster does not illuminate the associated symbol when the vehicles' turn signals or high beam lights are in use, instead only a solid color is lit. Additionally, the indicator for the windshield wiping system is not illuminated when the vehicle's headlights are activated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."

Risk. If the instrument panel does not illuminate correct telltale displays for the turn signals or high beam headlights, the vehicle operator may not recognize that the systems are been activated, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. RTDI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the instrument panel telltales and controls, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2017. Owners may contact RTDI customer service at 1-417-266-7600.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
