Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 09V056000, which affects some 2007 and 2008 model-year Bounder Diesel, Discovery, Excursion, Expedition, and Providence motorhomes built between June 2006 and March 2008.
The potential number of coaches involved had not been established as of press time. On certain motorhomes, the battery cable was routed too close to a sharp edge located on top of a shelf installed over the driveshaft. This can cause abrasion to the battery cable insulation, potentially leading to an electrical short and possibly a fire.
Fleetwood dealers will inspect and replace or repair the damaged cables as necessary and install an edge guard to protect the wires from the sharp edge. Repair time for this recall has not been established as of press time. For more information about this recall, contact Fleetwood at (800) 509-3418. Owner notification was expected to begin in March 2009. | For current information about recalls, including information about the recall history of a particular make and model vehicle, call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Auto Safety Hotline at (888) 327-4236; or, search the NHTSA recall database. Even if your motorhome is not involved in a current recall, make sure the vehicle manufacturer and the chassis manufacturer have your current contact information on file for any possible future recalls. |
