NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH POLAR MACH AND POLAR CUB AIR CONDITIONERS, THE SOLAR PANEL RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD FRACTURE THE PLASTIC SHROUD IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE ATTACHMENT HOLE.
The risk
THE RUBBER WELL NUTS COULD PULL OUT OF THE PLASTIC SHROUD, CAUSING THE SOLAR PANEL TO LEAVE THE TOP OF THE MOTOR HOME, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A ROAD HAZARD OR A CRASH.
The remedy
AIRXCEL WILL REINFORCE THE SOLAR PANELS WITH METAL MOUNTING BRACKETS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT AIRXCEL AT 719-676-2326 OR FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-322-8216.
Notes
ALSO, CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
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.
