Has your Fleetwood been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Fleetwood dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1997 Fleetwood Discovery recalls, newest first

March 19, 2007NHTSA 07V120000167,096 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary
Certain motor homes and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Consequence
Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Remedy
Fleetwood will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06E076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle Inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.

December 19, 1997NHTSA 97V236000433 vehicles potentially affected

Exterior lighting › Headlights

Summary
Vehicle description: class a motor homes equipped with a vinyl protective front cover. This cover includes a mesh which covers the front headlight assembly. This mesh interferes with the photometric performance of the headlights resulting in a noncompliance to FMVSS no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Consequence
The interfering mesh causes the effective brightness of the headlights and turn signals to be less than required. The decrease in headlight brightness can decrease the ability to view the road while driving at night or in other instances where headlights would be needed. Also, the decreased brightness of the turn signals will affect the visibility of these signals to following vehicles.
Remedy
Owners will be provided with instructions and repair parts necessary to perform this recall. If owners so desire, they can have a dealer perform this remedy for them.
