Threaded Fastener

NHTSA #12V412000 · Equipment · NHTSA notice

Reported August 21, 2012 · FLEETWOOD RV, INC.

Potentially affected: 74 vehicles

Fleetwood campaign 120813FRV · Owners notified September 11, 2012 · Vehicles built March 27, 2012 – July 24, 2012 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Fleetwood RV is recalling certain model year 2013 Excursion motor homes manufactured from March 27, 2012, through July 24, 2012. A threaded fastener installed on the turn shaft of the slide-out mechanism may come into contact with a portion of the diesel fuel fill hose while the turn shaft is rotating. If the fastener makes contact with the fuel fill hose, there is a possibility that it will abrade the fuel fill hose and cause a leak.

Safety consequence

Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Fleetwood RV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, shorten the threaded fastener to achieve clearance of the fuel line free of charge. The safety recall began on September 11, 2012. Owners may contact Fleetwood RV owner relations at 1-800-509-3418.

Notes

Fleetwood RV's safety recall number is 120813FRV. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Incident: March 4, 2015 · Filed: March 5, 2015

EXAMINATION OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SOFA/COUCH OF THE MOTORHOME REVEALED THAT THE SECURING BOLTS HAVE NEVER BEEN INSTALLED. THE SOFA IS A SEATBELT ZONE, AND WITHOUT PROPER MOUNTING TO THE DECK OF THE RV, THE COUCH IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS WHO SIT IN THE SOFA. THE RIG IS RATED FOR 5 SEATBELTED PASSENGERS (DRIVER, PASSENGER, AND THREE ON COUCH). THIS WAS REPORTED TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY REFUSED TO RECTIFY. FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY OWNER INDICATES THAT VEHICLE LIKELY LEFT THE FACTORY IN THIS CONDITION AS IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT HOLES WERE EVER IN ALIGNMENT TO SECURE THE SOFA TO THE DECK. I'VE ADVISED FLEETWOOD AND THE AUTHORIZED FLEETWOOD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LA MESA RV CENTER (DAVIS, CA) AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RECTIFY. *TR
