Magnum Energy Management System isn’t working properly. While charging House Batteries when connected to 50amp shore power it goes to fault stating overtemp and shuts house appliances down. Also when my VIN# is searched I receive results stating it’s a 2008 Fleetwood Diesel Expedition. I purchased this new from Camping World of Roanoke, VA. Can you verify the VIN to my Bounder?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER DIESEL RV. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION NUMBER 09V056000, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BATTERY CABLES; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THE LEGAL HEIR OF THE BUSINESS REFUSED TO HONOR THE REMEDY OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500. UPDATED 10/20/09 *CN
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
