Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Certain motor homes and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Fix: Fleetwood will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.
Tires:temporary/emergency spare tire
Problem: Vehicle description: class c motor homes equipped with a spare wheel . This wheel has insufficient weight carrying capacity when matched to a maximum loaded tire. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
Risk: Premature wheel failure can result in a loss of vehicle control.
Fix: Dealers will replace the spare wheel with a new higher capacity wheel.
