What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2006 Fleetwood Discovery, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
FLEETWOOD USED CHEAP SE-GI WINDOW IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE DISCOVERY MOTORHOMES. AS A RESULT THE DUAL PANE WINDOWS ARE ALL FOGGING UP. THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDER WINDOW IS SO FOGGED UP THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF AND INTO THE MIRROR. REPLACEMENT OF THIS WINDOW IS ABOUT 700.00. THIS MOTOR HOME IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT BE REPAIRED BY FLEETWOOD. *TR
WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY REPLACED TWO FOGGY WINDOWS THEN ONE YEAR LATTER WE HAD THREE MORE WINDOWS THAT FOGGED AND THEY SAID THEY NO LONGER COVER GLASS UNDER THE WARRANTY!!!!!!!!!! NOW THE REST OF THE WINDOWS ARE FOGGY AND WE HAVE NO RECOURSE AND ARE NOT A LONE AS WE UNDERSTAND ALL DISCOVERS UP TO 2009 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE JUSTICE IN THIS PROBLEM THAT WE AS THE CONSUMERS ARE NOW FACED WITH. *TR
Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE MMDC (MULTIPLE MODULE DATA COMPUTER) WENT HEY-WIRE. ALL GAUGES TURNED OFF. NO SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TEMP, OIL ETC... ALSO THE RV "JAKE" BREAK (ENGINE BREAK) FAILED TO ENGAGE. SEARCH OF THE INTERNET INDICATES THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH FREIGHTLINER'S MMDC THUS PUTTING MANY LARGE TRUCKS ON THE ROADS, AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM, IN DANGER. THE UNIT IS MADE BY MEDALLION INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE NUMBER OF MMDC FAILURES (AFTER MARKET SALES) TO SEE IF IT WARRANTS A RECALL. I HAVE A FLEETWOOD RV BUT APPARENTLY THESE THINGS ARE IN A LOT OF RV'S AND POSSIBLY BIG RIGS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
