What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS HAVE UNSUPPORTED FRESH WATER AND HOLDING TANKS. THE TANKS REQUIRE STRAPS IN ORDER TO PREVENT THEM FROM SEPARATING FROM THE TRAVEL TRAILER.

The risk

IF THE TANK FELL OFF WHILE THE TRAVEL TRAILER IS IN MOTION, DAMAGE TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES COULD OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND INSTALL SUPPORT STRAPS UNDERNEATH THE FRESH WATER AND HOLDING TANKS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JULY 27, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 800-509-3418.

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.
