What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Allied Recreational Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Fleetwood Bounder Classic recreational vehicles manufactured April 10, 2013, to August 7, 2014. Due to insufficient structural reinforcement at the installation area, a grab bar can be pulled loose in the affected vehicles.

The risk

If the grab bar is pulled loose during use, it could increase the risk of personal injury.

The remedy

ARG will notify owners, and dealers will remove and reinstall the grab bar onto a reinforcement steel plate, free of charge. The recall began on December 29, 2014. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417. ARG's number for this recall is 141107ARG.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
