What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

FLEETWOOD RV IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 AMERICAN ALLEGIANCE, AMERICAN HERITAGE, REVOLUTION LE; MODEL YEAR 2010 AMERICAN EAGLE, AMERICAN HERITAGE, REVOLUTION LE, AND MODEL YEAR 2011 AMERICAN EAGLE, AMERICAN HERITAGE, AMERICAN TRADITION, DISCOVERY, PROVIDENCE, AND REVOLUTION LE, CLASS A MOTOR HOMES MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 4, 2009, THROUGH JANUARY 5, 2011. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION". THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION TAG FIGURES RELATED TO THE INTERMEDIATE AND REAR TIRE PRESSURE RATINGS, IN KILOPASCALS (KPA), WERE PRINTED IN THEIR REVERSE POSITIONS.

The risk

A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING SPECIFICATIONS OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

FLEETWOOD RV WILL MAIL THE CORRECT FEDERAL CERTIFICATION TAGS TO DEALERS AND OWNERS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN PERFORM THE INSTALLATION FOR THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD OWNER RELATIONS AT 1-800-509-3418.

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.
