2003–2004 Fleetwood Bounder & 2003–2004 Fleetwood Southwind + 1 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorhomes built on workhorse chassis, the hydraulic hose operating the leveling jack system was routed so it places the hose too close to the engine exhaust. The hot exhaust CAN cause the hydraulic hose to melt or abrade, releasing hydraulic fluid.
💥 The risk
If the hydraulic fluid should ignite by an exhaust gas recirculating tube or other heat source, this could cause a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace damaged hoses and relocate the affected hydraulic lines. Owner notification is expected to begin october 3, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
