2008 Fleetwood Jamboree & 2008 Fleetwood Tioga recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain class c motor homes, the front axle weight, in an unloaded condition, may exceed the front gross axle weight rating (gawr) of 4600 pounds.
💥 The risk
Overloading or exceeding the front gawr may create axle fatigue or failure resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash.
🔧 The fix
Fleetwood has installed a heavier new rear bumper to redistribute weight from the front axle to the rear axle on all affected vehicles. Fleetwood also corrected and replaced the federal certification tag and the cargo carrying capacity tag. All vehicles will be repaired before selling.
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.)
