- Summary
- Main fuel tank filler cap may disengage suddenly when removing the cap for refueling. The sudden cap disengagement permits expulsion of vapor and under some circumstances, sprays gasoline around the surrounding area or persons. Consequence of defect: the gasoline spillage may cause a fire and/or an explosion if an ignition source is present.
- Remedy
- Requires the replacement of the single stage bayonet cap with a two stage cap which requires an additional rotation prior to removal. Also a warning label sticker will be issued to be installed just above the gasoline fill opening.
- Notes
- Vehicle description: motorhomes. System: fuel tank cap.

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.
