Filed Apr 12, 1995365 vehiclesFleetwood Ent., Inc.

Defect. THE WIRING TO THE BREAKAWAY SWITCH LOCATED ON THE PARK TRAILER A-FRAME WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED. THIS SWITCH ACTIVATES THE TRAILER BRAKES IF THE PARK TRAILER BECOMES DISCONNECTED FROM THE TOW VEHICLE DURING TOWING.

Risk. IF THE PARK TRAILER WERE TO BECOME DISCONNECTED DURING TOWING, THE TRAILER BRAKES WOULD NOT BE ACTIVATED INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FORA VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH A KIT AND INSTRUCTIONS TO CORRECT THE WIRING OF THIS SWITCH. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN PERFORM THE REWIRING OF THE SWITCH FOR THEM WITHOUT CHARGE.

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.

Most recent recall on file: Apr 12, 1995. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
