Recall Corner: January 2008

February 1, 2008

The potential number of coaches involved is 193.

On certain motorhomes, an incorrect spare tire carrier assembly that does not properly support the spare tire and wheel was mounted under the rear of the unit. As a result, the spare tire could detach from the carrier assembly and fall to the road surface. Should this occur while the vehicle is in motion, a crash may result. Owners of vehicles included in this recall are advised to remove the spare tire from the carrier assembly before continuing to drive the vehicle.

Dealers will install the correct spare tire system and also a secondary mechanical backup latch. The repair is expected to take approximately three hours. However, because of service scheduling times, the service center may need the vehicle for a longer time period.

For more information about this recall, contact Coachmen RV at (800) 453-6064. Owner notification began in October 2007.


Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. has announced NHTSA recalls 07V503000 and 07V50400, which affect certain 2007 and 2008 Bounder and Pace Arrow 38P model motorhomes manufactured between January 4, 2007, and September 28 , 2007. The potential number of units involved is 163.

On certain motorhomes, the slideout room may activate while traveling, causing the overall vehicle width to increase. Water can short out the electronic control relay for the slideout room control mechanism. The increased vehicle width could lead to collisions while traveling or slideout room impact to adjacent objects while the motorhome is parked.

Fleetwood has not yet provided a remedy or owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Fleetwood at (800) 322-8216.
