Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.: Equipment › Other › Labels
Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Jan 26, 2007 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 93. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 6.2.6, "MARKING OF ALTERNATIVE EXITS," AS REQUIRED BY THE ANSI/NFPA 1192 STANDARD ON RECREATIONAL VEHICLES. THE DINETTE ALTERNATE EXIT/EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW IS NOT IDENTIFIED BY AN EXIT LABEL AND RED EGRESS LATCHES. THIS WINDOW IS USED TO EXIT THE MOTOR HOME IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND MUST BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED.
The risk
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, A PASSENGER MAY NOT KNOW IMMEDIATELY WHERE THE EXIT/ EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW WOULD BE LOCATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE EXISTING BLACK WINDOW LATCH WITH A RED EGRESS WINDOW LATCH AND APPLY THE "EXIT" LABEL TO THE DINETTE ALTERNATIVE EXIT/ EMERGENCY EGRESS WINDOW. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 15, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-509-3418.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 07V019000.
