Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Fleetwood rv is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
Risk: The sensing algorithm or thermal switch designed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected may not activate in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
Fix: Fleetwood rv is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on june 6, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101.

Problem: Fleetwood is recalling 311 my 2008-2009 providence, excursion, expedition, discovery and bounder diesel motor home. The battery cable may become dislodged and come in contact with the driver shaft causing entanglement or abrasion to the battery cable.
Risk: This could lead to an electrical short which may result in a fire or un-commanded vehicle shutdown which may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace damage battery cables and secure the battery cable harness above the drive shaft free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during june 2009. Owners may contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
Electrical system:12v/24v/48v battery:cables
Problem: Fleetwood is recalling 3,782 my 2006-2009 providence, excursion, expedition, discovery and boulder diesel motor homes. The battery cable is routed too close to a sharp edge located on top of a shelf installed over the driveshaft.
Risk: This can cause abrasion to the battery cable insulation, leading to an electrical short and possibly a fire.
Fix: Dealers will re-route the cable away from the sharp edge location. This service will be performed for you free of charge. The recall began on may, 26 2009. Owners may contact fleetwood at 800-509-3418.

These motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of the code of federal regulations, part 567, 'certification.' the occupant and cargo carrying capacity were calculated incorrectly allowing additional load carrying capacity.
Risk: Overloading may have an adverse affect on motor home handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Fleetwood will mail a corrected federal certification label along with installation instructions to the affected motor home owners. Owners who do not feel comfortable installing this label can take their motor home to any fleetwood dealer and the dealer will install the label for them. The recall began on july 28, 2008.
