  • Brand FLEETWOOD

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Fleetwood RV is recalling certain 2013 Excursion motor homes manufactured between March 27, 2012, and July 24, 2012. A threaded fastener on the slide-out mechanism's turn shaft may contact the diesel fuel fill hose during rotation, potentially abrading the hose and causing a fuel leak. When fuel leaks in the presence of an ignition source, there is an increased risk of fire.

Owners of affected motor homes should contact Fleetwood RV owner relations at 1-800-509-3418. Fleetwood RV will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the vehicles and shorten the threaded fastener as necessary to ensure proper clearance of the fuel line, at no cost to the owner.
