Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse. Dometic has retained Stericycle Inc. to manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Weekend Warrior is recalling 289 MY 2007 CL, CR, FB, FS, FSC, and LE toy hauler recreational trailers equipped with Great Plains Industries (GPI) fuel transfer pumps. Due to insufficient epoxy adhesive applied at the time of installation at the factory, a fuel leak can occur at the pump's inlet valve. In the presence of an ignition source, a fire can occur. GPI has replaced all the fuel pumps involved in the recall. 07V-560 Forest River is recalling 84 MY 2007 All American XLR fifth wheel trailers. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) label located on the front of the hitch pin box of the unit contains an improper listing of the GVWR This label is giving conflicting GVWR information. The GVWR of the trailer is 18,000 lbs. and the hitch label reads 15,500 lbs. Owners were mailed a corrected label as well as installation instructions. The customer will have the option for dealers to install this label if they prefer. The recall began on October 1, 2007. Freightliner is recalling 10,053 MY 2005-2006 XC motorhome chassis built using inline power steering filters, Part No. 14-16829-000. The filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist. Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motorhome could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the affected filters with a larger filter. The recall is expected to begin on or about February 1, 2008. Winnebago is recalling 1,972 MY 2004-2008 Vecta and Itasca Horizon motorhome chassis equipped with ZF Model 8018 steering gears. These steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculation balls to escape from the recirculation ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering. The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash. Winnebago is working with Freightliner and ZF to replace the steering gear. Monaco Coach is recalling 107 MY 2007-2008 Holiday Rambler Arista and Safari Passage Class A motor homes built on Ford chassis. The front run panel has an exposed terminal post on its side which allows the oil dipstick to potentially make contact when checking the oil level. The location of the exposed terminal post is under the front engine access hood. When the oil level is checked, it may be possible for the dipstick to contact the exposed wire terminal stud and, if the other end of the dipstick is grounded, could result in an electrical shock or a spark which could create a fire. Dealers will remove the wire from the terminal and install boot covers, then reinstall the wire and slip cover over the connection. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Fleetwood is recalling 238 MY 2004-2005 American Eagle and American Tradition Class A motorhomes built on Freightliner chassis and equipped with ZF Model 8018 steering gears. These gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer.This could potentially allow the recirculation balls to escape from the recirculation ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering. The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash. Fleetwood is working with Freightliner and ZF to replace the steering gear Four Winds is recalling 1,174 MY 2004-2008 Mandalay motorhomes built on Freightliner chassis and equipped with ZF Model 8018 steering gears.These gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer.This could potentially allow the recirculation balls to escape from the recirculation ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering. The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash. Four Winds is working with Freightliner and ZF to replace the steering gear. Keystone RV is recalling 223 MY 2007-2008 Challenger and Everest fifth wheel travel trailers. A liquid propane (LP) line for the slide room may be too close to the tire.This could cause an increased risk of property damage and possible fire. Dealers will reroute the LP line away from the tire. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Blue Bird is recalling 58 MY Wanderlodge 450LXi motorhomes equipped with ArvinMeritor and TRW tie rod ends. The front axle curb weight may exceed the specified 16,000 pound weight rating. Failure to follow proper vehicle loading specifications or a misprinted label could increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the left and right hand front tie rod ends along with a certification label stating the correct weight limits. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Hi-Lo is recalling 114 MY 2007-2008 25' and 28' Classic, and 24' and 27' Tow Lite travel trailers equipped with a power winch unit, Model P55000, built by Carefree of Colorado. An incorrect material was used in the manufacture of the cable shafts on some of these power winch units. Under certain circumstances while the folding camping trailer top is being lifted, if the winch is placed into a stall condition, the cable shaft may break prior to the fuse or circuit breaker tripping. Should the cable shaft break, the trailer top could then free-fall into the lower position, possibly resulting in injuries. Hi-Lo is working with Carefree of Colorado to have new cable shafts installed (please see 07E077). The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Monaco is recalling 96 MY 2008 Dynasty, Executive, Signature, Holiday Rambler Imperial, Navigator, Beaver Marquis and Patriot Class A motor homes equipped with TRW steering gears, Models TAS85 and RCS85. These steering gears contain potentially defective sector shafts with an incorrect gear tooth which may interfere with the rack-piston teeth, resulting in a stick or bind condition.This condition has the potential to cause the steering gear to stall and restrict the steering turning angle of the vehicle which could result in a vehicle crash. Monaco is working with TRW to replace the defective steering gear. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. 07V-590 Host is recalling 73 MY 2007-2008 Bachelor, Rainier, Tahoe, Yellowstone, Yukon and Everest truck campers and MY 2007-2008 270 and 330 Class C motor homes equipped with Suburban glass top, sealed burner ranges and cook tops with serial numbers included in a range beginning with 063413053 and ending with 064704399, P/NOS. 2950A, 2951A, 2952A, and 2953A. A threaded connector on the tube between the burner valve and the burner may not have been fully tightened during the manufacturing process. If the threaded connector is not properly tightened, it is possible for the gas to leak from the connection when the burner is turned on. Liquid propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and any leaked gas could accumulate in an enclosed or low area in the recreational vehicle. A sufficient quantity of accumulated gas, if ignited, could cause a fire or explosion. Host is working with Suburban to repair these cooking appliances. Read last month's ( November, 2007) recalls.
