Fix: Fleetwood is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032).

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with kwikee brand electric entry step built with a control unit manufactured by american technologies, may develop an electrical short during cold weather, allowing for the potential of the plastic case to ignite.
Risk: This will make the step inoperable and possibly result in a risk of personal injury, vehicle or other property damage.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace all american technologies controls associated with the kwikee brand electric entry step free of charge. The recall began on march 17, 2006. Owners may contact fleetwood at 800-509-3418.
Equipment:other:labels
Problem: Certain diesel class a motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of part 567, "certification." the manufacturers' tow hitch receiver information label was printed with the incorrect weight carrying capacity value and the incorrect tongue weight value.
Risk: The weight label on the hitch receiver provides the maximum trailer weight rating and the maximum tongue weight rating. It is important that these ratings not be exceeded. Failure to comply could result in damage to the motor home frame, body, or hitch receiver and could cause unstable driving and handling characteristrics which may result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Fleetwood will mail owners the correct tow hitch receiver weight information label. If owners do not feel comfortable installing the label, dealers will install the label for them. The recall began august 4, 2005. Owners may contact fleetwood at 800-509-3418.
