Defect. Fleetwood RV is recalling certain model year 2013 Bounder Classic and Terra motorhomes manufactured between July 9, 2012 and January 16, 2013. The tire load index letter printed on the Federal Certification Tag is incorrect. Due to the inaccurate label, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Part 567, "Certification."

Risk. The vehicle may be inadvertently fitted with incorrect replacement tires, which could lead tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Fleetwood will mail the corrected tags to dealers and owners. Owners who are not comfortable installing these labels may get them installed at a dealer, free of charge. The recall began on June 20, 2013. Owners may contact Fleetwood Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418. Fleetwood's recall number is 130417FRV.

WHILE DRIVING THE DASH WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES. WHEN I CHECKED ALL THE SCREWS SHEARED OFF AND BECAME FREE FROM THE BODY AND WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WALL IS COMING APART FROM THE FLOOR OF THE RV. HAD THIS CHECKED AND THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THE FLOOR CAN FALL ONTO THE ROAD. WE CAN SEE THE ROAD FROM BETWEEN THE WALL AND FLOOR. I HAVE TOLD THIS TO FLEETWOOD AND HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU AS WELL WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OVER THIS. AND FALL ONTO THE ROADWAY FLEETWOOD NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY FLOOR SEPARATING FROM THE WALL ABOUT A 1/4 OR MORE.I CAN SEE DAYLIGHT FROM THE ROAD. AFTER FIXING THE SHEARED OFF SCREWS ALL 3 OF THEM ON THE ANGLE PIECE BY THE FIRE WALL MY DASH IS STILL MOVING. FLEETWOOD PUT 3 SCREWS INON BOTH SIDES. I REALLY THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THE DASH FELL 2 INCHES WHEN THEY SHEARED OFF. NOW NO ONE WILL TOUCH THE SEPARATION OF THE FLOOR FROM THE WALL THEY SAY GO TO A BODY SHOP. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FLEETWOOD WITH YOUR POOR WORKMANSHIP BUT I'M SURE YOU DON'T MIND JUST THE MONEY.PLEASE HELP HOW I CAN GET THIS FIXED

Reading this record

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.
