Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Fleetwood RV is recalling certain 2011 and 2012 Class A motor homes built on Ford chassis, including Bounder Classic, Storm, Terra, and Southwind models manufactured between May 2010 and June 2011. A wire harness routed under the motor home near the chassis rail can contact a heat shield next to the passenger side engine exhaust manifold, potentially causing the harness to melt or be damaged. This damaged wire harness can result in an electrical short, intermittent operation of electrical systems, vehicle shutdown, or fire, and may result in loss of vehicle control, injury, or death.
Dealers will inspect and reroute the wire harness away from the heat shield at no charge. The safety recall was expected to begin in June 2011. Owners may contact Fleetwood Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418 for service.
