Recalls for 1994 Fleetwood Flair

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK

Posted on: 1994-04-13
Description
The spare tire and wheel assembly is attached to the motorhome with a chain and pulley mechanism.  If inadequate tension is not pre-loaded into this mechanism, road vibration can cause the friction clutch to slowly release or backdrive the mechanism, which causes the spare tire and wheel assembly to slowly lower and contact the road surface forward of the front axle.

Consequence
If this happens a potential safety hazard and/or road obstruction could result.

Corrective Action
Dealers will install a square chain connector in the mechanism's tire support chain.  Also, a redundant chain, bracket, and chain connector will be installed to physically connect the spare tire and wheel assembly to the undercarriage.

System: equipment; carrier; tire cover.vehicle description: motorhomes.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and free of charge or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact fleetwood at 1-800-854-4755.  Also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

DEFECT #2 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

Posted on: 1993-07-28
Description
Final stage manufacturing required the power distribution and ignition system wiring to be rerouted.  This wiring change left these circuits unprotected against high electrical currents.

Consequence
Should an electrical short or overload occur, thechassis wiring will overheat and may cause a fire.

Corrective Action
Fleetwood dealers will install appropriate fusible links within the circuit.

Notes
System: electrical; ignition switch.vehicle description: motorhomes.
