2015 Holiday Rambler Vacationer

Defect. REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Holiday Rambler Vacationer motorhomes. The affected vehicles have a front truss that may not be adequately supported at the attachment points, allowing any wire harnesses or hydraulic lines routed between the truss and its supporting framework to be pinched or crushed.

Risk. A damaged wire harness can cause an electrical short, resulting in intermittent operation of electrical systems or a vehicle shut down. A damaged hydraulic line may leak fluid. Either condition may increase risk of a fire or a crash.

Remedy. REV will notify owners, and dealers will install additional steel to support the front truss,. Dealers will also inspect the hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring, relocating them as necessary. These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2016. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 161018REV.

On cruise control at 70mph starting uphill as speed decreases transmission will shift to a lower gear as it should. almost immediatly speed control shuts throttle down to idle causing drastic loss of speed. In heavy traffic this is a danger to following traffic as it is as if I am coming to an abrupt stop. FMCo manufacturing says so what, take cotrol of your vehicle manually. This is an option but no where in manual that in writing this will happen. Dealers have no knowledge of this problem. FMCo thinks throttle doing this is great. To my knowledge no other models in production do this throttle down. My thought is this should be in manual for other drivers. This has happened since 2015 but no one finds codes which there isnt according to Ford
