2009 Mobile Suites My Recalls

Safety recall campaigns filed with NHTSA that cover this model year

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov
Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
Carrying an NHTSA advisoryCampaigns where NHTSA told owners not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outside, until the repair is done.
0
Open investigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Recall campaigns

No recall campaigns in our database for this model year

This does not guarantee that a specific vehicle is unaffected. Recalls are issued against ranges of VINs rather than against a whole model year, new campaigns are announced regularly, and a manufacturer may have opened one since our last refresh. The authoritative answer for one vehicle is NHTSA’s own lookup — check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Safety investigations

NHTSA inquiries naming this vehicle. An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and it is not a recall.

PE10040ClosedPreliminary Evaluation

Wheel Separation (Broken Studs)

Opened Oct 14, 2010
Closed May 27, 2011

As a part of PE10-040 investigation activities for both monitoring and to provide candidates for on-site field examinations, ODI had requested Doubletree RV (DRV) to inform ODI of all newly reported wheel separation incidents.DRV has reported two newly-reported incidents since October, 2010. (1) On November 3, 2010, DRV reported the complete separation of the left (driver side) - forward wheel assembly mounted to a 2010 model year DRV Mobile Suites RV equipped with aluminum wheels mounted on eight 9/16 wheel mounting studs.(2) On May 2, 2011, DRV reported the complete separation of the right (passenger side) - rear wheel assembly mounted to a 2010 model year Elite Suites RV equipped with aluminum wheels mounted on eight 5/8 wheel mounting studs.ODI, in conjunction DRV representatives, visited and inspected both of these vehicles shortly after receiving notification of the incident (before repairs were attempted) for the purpose of identifyingcontributory issues associated with components, component interfaces, and/or maintenance issues prior to pertinent evidence being lost or altered in the repair process.***** To improve the mounting surface quality in new production vehicles, DRV instructed that paint be removed from hub faces as of January, 2011.DRV also issued an owner letter in January, 2011 advising owners to check lug nut torque and notify DRV in the event of any owner concerns or problems regarding loosening or inability of the wheel retention system to maintain the specified torque.***** The occurrence of a wheel end separation incidents prompts concern about the wheel end retention integrity of DRV units in the field and justifies further investigation activity.
