VIOLATIONS OF RECALL LAWS! 49USC30120, 49USC30112, AND 30118. NORTH TRAIL RV IN FORT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA SOLD ME A "NEW" 2011 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER CLASSIC 30T WITH OPEN RECALLS, DATE OF PURCHASE 10/11/2013. ACCORDING TO FORD, THEY NOTIFIED FLEETWOOD OF THE RECALL 12S27, NHTSA 12V035000 IN FEB 2012, FLEETWOOD IGNORED THE "STOP SALE ORDER" AND ALL LETTERS FROM FORD, TO REMEDY THE RECALL. IN APRIL 2015 FOR AGAIN SENT A REMINDER LETTER TO COMPLY TO FLEETWOOD AND AT THIS TIME WE HAD ALREADY PURCHASED THE MOTORHOME, FLEETWOOD AGAIN DISCARDED THE REMAINDER TO COMPLY LETTER FROM FORD AS THEY NEVER FORWARDED THE LETTER TO US. NOW, WE HAVE A MOTORHOME WITH (3) OPEN RECALLS DATING BACK TO 2011 & 2012, CLEARLY BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE UNIT IN VIOLATION OF 49USC30120(I)1, WE JUST LEARNED OF ALL THE RECALLS VIOLATIONS WITH THIS UNIT TROUBLESHOOTING AN ELECTRICAL FIRE THAT WAS AS A RESULT OF RECALL #110728FRV, 11V399000. THE MANUFACTURER, FLEETWOOD NEVER NOTIFIED THE DEALER THAT HAD THE RV IN THEIR LOT OF ALL 3 RECALLS. THAT FIRE COULD HAVE KILLED MY FAMILY AND OTHER AROUND US AS THIS MOTORHOME CARRIES 80 GALLONS OF GASOLINE AND 20 GALLONS OF LP GAS. CLEARLY FLEETWOOD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE HUNDREDS OF UNSAFE RVS ON THE ROAD PUTTING FAMILIES AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD IN GREAT DANGER, DUE TO THEIR CONDUCT. WE WERE SOLD A TICKING BOMB AS THIS RV HAS 2 OPEN FIRE HAZARDS RECALLS 110520FRV NHTSA 11V298000, AND 110728FRV NHTSA 11V399000 AND 1 MECHANICAL/CRASH HAZARD RECALL 12S27 NHTSA12V035000. WHEN I CALLED FLEETWOOD AND NORTH TRAIL RV TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE OPEN RECALLS, THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECORDS OF THE REPAIRS OF ALL 3 RECALLS. THIS IS BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR THESE GUYS! RVS ARE MORE THAN JUST A MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, PEOPLE LIVE IN THESE UNITS INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES AND/OR DEATH AS A RESULT OF THE 3 OPEN RECALLS.

Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with wired keyless entry keypad systems and accessory wireless keyless entry keypad systems may or may not come with a wallet card containing the master code. Unlike the integrated wired keypad, the accessory wireless keypad master code cannot be retrieved from the vehicle using a diagnostic scan tool or from the label printed on the body control module (BCM). The Factory Keyless Entry Code application within the diagnostic scan tool will not provide an applicable master code for the accessory wireless keypad. If the wallet card for an accessory keypad is not available, the "Wireless RF Keypad Diagnosis Guide" can be referenced and provides direction on how to retrieve the master code. This guide is located under the Workshop Manual tab > Accessories > Installation > Wireless RF Keypad Diagnosis Guide > PPT C > Step C2.<br /><br /> Note: The only available keypad for some vehicles from the assembly plant is the accessory wireless keyless entry keypad. The integrated wired keypad cannot be installed on vehicles not equipped from the factory with a wired keyless entry k

All accessory stick-on keyless entry keypads come with a wallet card containing the master code. If the accessory keypad was factory installed, this card will be placed in the glove box and should be handed to the vehicles owner during initial delivery. Unlike the integrated (wired) factory keypad, the accessory keypad master code cannot be retrieved from the vehicle using a diagnostic scan tool. If the wallet card for an accessory keypad is lost, follow these steps to recover the code. Dealer Key Code access is granted through the Dealer Program Enrollment System (DPES); dealership management can authorize users. The authorized user must go to FMCDealer.com > Parts and Service > Parts Product Line Information > Keys/Entry Devices > Aftermarket Keyless Entry Keypad Code Access. Follow the instructions on the screen to obtain the master code for the accessory keypad.

For 2000-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles, swapping a module from a vehicle for diagnosis purposes is likely to cause errors and is not recommended. It is also not recommended to order a replacement module using a vehicle identification number (VIN) from a different vehicle. Most modules on these affected vehicles are VIN/vehicle specific and hardware variations between modules do exist. Swapping a module from a vehicle or ordering a module using a different vehicle/VIN can cause ineffective repairs and additional vehicle down time. Make sure all appropriate Workshop Manual (WSM) procedures are followed when diagnosing the condition prior to all module replacements and only order modules using the correct VIN.

On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.

Various vehicles equipped with a 4.6L, 5.4L, 6.8L modular 3 valve engine built on or before 8-Jan-2016 may exhibit symptoms that may include upper end engine noise, rough running, misfire and/or engine damage. If diagnosis leads to only camshaft/camshaft roller follower(s) requiring replacement, replace all of the camshaft roller followers on both banks/cylinder heads with part number 3L3Z-6564-A, not just the faulty roller follower(s). When replacing the camshaft roller followers, refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01.

Replacing the original equipment SYNC/Navigation system with either an aftermarket SYNC/Navigation kit or modifying original SYNC/Navigation parts to provide additional features is not recommended nor supported on any Ford, Mercury or Lincoln vehicle. Only approved Genuine Ford accessories or originally installed systems are supported and certified to function correctly with other vehicle systems. If you suspect a system has been modified, the following resources can be used to verify original equipment: Monroney Label (Window Sticker), Professional Technician Society (PTS) OASIS tab  select SYNC or HVBOM. For Genuine Ford accessories use: PTS Workshop Tab  select Dealer Installed Accessory or Accessory Installation.
