Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I RECEIVED A "FLEETWOOD OWNERS RECALL #90209 FROM FLEETWOOD, POB 1007, DECATUR, INDIANA. I CALLED TODAY AT 800-509-3418 TO OBTAIN APPROVAL FOR REPAIR AT A FACILITY. I WAS INFORMED BY NEIL AT THAT PHONE THAT "DUE TO THE FLEETWOOD BANKRUPTCY THE NEW OWNERS WILL NOT HONOR ANY SAFETY RECALLS AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU OBTAIN AND PAY FOR THIS SERVICE YOURSELF." ACCORDING TO THE BANKRUPTCY FLEETWOOD WAS TO HONOR WARRANTY WORK, I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT IMPROPER MANUFACTURING PROCEDURES ARE INDEED WARRANTY WORK. *TR
