Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Exterior lighting
Problem: Fleetwood is recalling 979 my 2008-2009 icon, jamboree, jamboree gt, pulse, tioga, and tioga sl class c motor homes. The front clearance lights wiring may come in contact with a portion of the metal mounting plate and could become abraded.
Risk: This could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the wiring and repair, if necessary. The recall began on february 2, 2009. Owners may contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
Engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control
Problem: Fleetwood is recalling 1,583 my 2008-2009 jamboree, jamboree sport, jamboree gt, and tioga, tioga ranger, and tioga sl class c motor homes built on a ford e450 chassis. A section of hard plastic evaporative emission line near the evap system canister may be kinked and completely restricted. This may affect a pressure increase in the evap lines and fuel tank in high ambient temperatures, causing a release of excess vapors when the gas cap is removed.
Risk: Under certain conditions, excess vapors and fuel may be sprayed from the fuel cap possibly resulting in personal injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the kinked evaporative line. The recall is expected to begin during february 2009. Owners may contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
Equipment:other:labels
Problem: Fleetwood is recalling 226 my 2008-2009 american allegiance, american eagle, american heritage, american tradition, bounder, bounder diesel, discovery, excursion, expedition, fiesta lx, pace arrow, providence, revolution le, southwind, class a motor homes, and icon, jamboree, jamboree gt, jamboree sport, pulse, tioga, and tioga ranger class c motor homes. 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. Owners may contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
Seat belts
Problem: Fleetwood is recalling 186 my 2008 jamboree sport and tioga ranger 25g class c motor homes for failing to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies." the seat belts at the two center seating positions located on the wrap-around booth dinette, may be too long to achieve proper adjustments.
Risk: Lack of adequate seat belt protection increases the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the two seat belts free of charge. The recallbegan on june 9, 2008. Owners may contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
Suspension:rear
Problem: On certain class c motor homes, the front axle weight, in an unloaded condition, may exceed the front gross axle weight rating (gawr) of 4600 pounds.
Risk: Overloading or exceeding the front gawr may create axle fatigue or failure resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash.
Fix: Fleetwood has installed a heavier new rear bumper to redistribute weight from the front axle to the rear axle on all affected vehicles. Fleetwood also corrected and replaced the federal certification tag and the cargo carrying capacity tag. All vehicles will be repaired before selling.
Wheels
Problem: On certain motor homes, the spare wheel,when installed on the front axle, may contact the front brake caliper mounting brackets and the driver may experience a grinding/scraping noise in the front with the spare wheel installed.
Risk: This could cause premature wheel failure resulting in a loss of vehicle control or a crash could occur.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and install the correct spare wheel. The recall began on november 5, 2007. Owners may contact fleetwood at 800-322-8216.
