On certain motorhomes, the bracket which secures the power steering gear to the chassis may develop cracks. This could allow the steering gear to partially detach from the chassis, which could result in a loss of steering control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Since Fleetwood Enterprises Inc (the manufacturer of these vehicles) is no longer in business, Spartan Motor Chassis, Inc. is supplying vehicle owners with this courtesy notice. Owners are advised to contact Spartan at 800-393-8861, to locate an authorized repair facility. The remedy consists of inspecting and, as necessary, replacing the steering gear mounting bracket, or installing a support bracket.
Certain motorhomes equipped with a Bussmann Dual Vehicle Electrical Center (DVEC) may experience an electrical power loss at major chassis operating systems (Engine, Transmission, Starting, Cooling). This could cause the vehicle to shut down and/or prevent powering up. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the DVEC assembly.
On certain motorhomes, the Certification label values related to the rear & intermediate tire pressure rating (PSI) are reversed. Correction: Fleetwood will mail corrected certification label to dealers and owners.
