Potentially affected: 742 vehicles

Repair completion: 71.68% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 170301REV · Owners notified April 28, 2017 · Vehicles built February 18, 2016 – February 21, 2017 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2015 Fleetwood Bounder Classic motorhomes, 2015-2016 Fleetwood Terra motorhomes, 2016-2017 Fleetwood Storm, Holiday Rambler Admiral XE and Fleetwood Flair motorhomes, and 2017 Holiday Rambler Vacationer XE motorhomes. The affected vehicles, equipped with an Onan 5.5 Kilowatt Generator, have an external fuel pump and in-line fuel filter that may be improperly secured to the chassis.

Safety consequence

If the fuel pump or filter detach or become loose, a fuel leak may result, which in the presence of an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire or explosion.

Manufacturer remedy

REV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the mounting of the generator's external fuel pump and in-line fuel filter, securing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REVs number for the recall is 170301REV.

Manufacturer campaign 150708ARG · Owners notified August 14, 2015 · Vehicles built May 19, 2015 – July 7, 2015 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Manufacturer remedy

ARG will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the motorhomes and replace the regulator, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 14, 2015. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 150708ARG.

ODI #11042899

Incident: June 29, 2016 · Filed: November 3, 2017

2016 FLEETWOOD FLAIR, PURCHASED FEB 2016 - AFTER TAKING THE RV ON OUR FIRST LONG TRIP IN JUNE OF 2016 - THERE WAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE COACH FRAMING SEPARATED FROM THE BODY - IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, I COULD SEE THE ROAD THROUGH A 2 INCH GAP BETWEEN THE COACH WALL AND FLOOR. WE TOOK THE COACH IN JULY 2016 TO LEMESA RV, PHOENIX, AZ. THEY CALLED FLEETWOOD, AND WERE AUTHORIZED TO DO REPAIRS. PICKED UP THE COACH 3 WEEKS LATER, DROVE FINE, NO VIBRATION DURING THE 50 MILE TRIP HOME. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GO ON ANOTHER TRIP UNTIL MAY OF 2017. AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES, THE COACH DID THE SAME THING; STARTED WITH REAL BAD VIBRATION IN THE DASHBOARD THAT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, (DASHBOARD WOULD BOUNCE 1-2 INCHES AS IT BROKE AWAY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE); AND THEN THE BODY SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME AGAIN SHOWING ABOUT A 2 INCH GAP BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND COACH BODY. THESE TRIPS WERE 95% HIGHWAY/FREEWAY DRIVING, AND 5% CITY STREETS, AND IS FOCUSED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE COACH. WHEN LOOKING UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE COACH, YOU CAN SEE THE BOLTS WORKING OUT OF THE FRAMING THAT ATTACHES TO THE BODY, AND YOU CAN SEE THE GAP BETWEEN THE FRAMING AND THE BODY WHERE THE BOLTS HAVE COMPLETELY FALLEN OUT, AND THE WELD REPAIR DID NOT HOLD AS IT ALSO SEPARATED, AGAIN. THE FIRST INSTANCE HAPPENED IN JUNE 2016 - OUR NEXT TRIP WAS NOT UNTIL MAY OF 2017 WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FLEETWOOD IS REFUSING TO FIX STATING THAT ITS ONLY A DASHBOARD ISSUE!
