Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
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.
Wheels
Problem: On certain fifth wheel and conventional travel trailers equipped with aluminum wheels may not have had the proper wheel lug nut torque applied. Additionally, paint applied to the mating surface of the hub may cause the lug nuts to be more sensitive to loosening during the initial settling-in of components and after a wheel has been removed for service.
Risk: A wheel separation could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect, repair, or replace any damaged wheels, lug nuts, lug studs, and mating surfaces. Dealers will also remove paint film from the mating surfaces. The recall began on august 5, 2004. Owners should contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
Wheels
Problem: On certain conventional and fifth wheel travel trailers, the owner manuals either do not contain the wheel lug nut torque information or contain incorrect wheel lug nut torque information for the optional "aluminum wheel"
Risk: Vehicle operation without the proper torque applied to the wheel lug nuts could result in the lug nuts becoming loose and a wheel separation that could result in a crash.
Fix: Owners will be provided with a label and insert to be added to the owner's manual. If the vehicle has the "aluminum wheel" option, owners are requested to bring their vehicle into a dealer to have the wheel lug nuts torqued to the proper specifications. Owner notification began november 26, 2003. Owners should contact fleetwood at 1-800-445-3307.
