Summary: Certain towable travel trailers were built without a bedroom emergency egress window.
Consequence: In the event of a fire or other emergency, persons in the front bedroom area must exit through the access door. If the access door is blocked, there is no way out of the trailer, increasing the risk of injuries to the trailer occupants.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the current sliding window with an emergency egress exit window free of charge. The recall began on may 27, 2005. Owners may contact fleetwood folding trailer at 1-814-445-9661.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
