2003 Rexhall Aerbus

Defect. ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH A TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURED BY THE DOMETIC CORPORATION, THE REFRIGERATOR MAY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE REFRIGERATOR BOILER TUBE. PRESSURIZED COOLANT SOLUTION COULD BE RELEASED INTO AN AREA WHERE AN IGNITION SOURCE (GAS FLAME) IS PRESENT.

Risk. RELEASE OF COOLANT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS COULD IGNITE AND RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. REXHALL WILL BE WORKING WITH DOMETIC IN ORDER TO REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS (PLEASE SEE 06E076). DOMETIC WILL REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS BY INSTALLING A SECONDARY BURN HOUSING, A THERMAL FUSE, AND A MELT FUSE FREE OF CHARGE. DOMETIC HAS RETAINED STERICYCLE INC. TO MANAGE THIS CAMPAIGN. STERICYCLE WILL ASSIST THE OWNER IN LOCATING DEALERSHIPS OR SERVICE CENTERS AND WILL PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH SCHEDULING OF APPOINTMENTS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE JULY 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DOMETIC/STERICYCLE AT 1-888-446-5157 OR REXHALL AT 1-661-726-0565.

Defect. CERTAIN MOTOR HOME CHASSIS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS." THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR MAY NOT FUNCTION AS REQUIRED BY STANDARD.

Risk. IN SOME OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE IGNITION IS IN THE START POSITION OR FOR A LOW BRAKE FLUID CONDITION, IF THE BODY BUILDER RELIED SOLELY UPON FORD'S IVM COMPLIANCE STATEMENT FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP CIRCUIT. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN JULY 1, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT REXHALL AT 1-800-444-9720.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 REXHALL AERBUS RV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE REFRIGERATOR. THE SERIAL AND PART NUMBERS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE IN FINDING A WAY TO GET THE REFRIGERATORS REPLACED ALTHOUGH IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE RV TO A TECHNICIAN WHO TRIED TO CONTACT NORCOLD WHO HASN'T RESPONDED FOR THREE WEEKS.

BRAKES,50,000 MOTORHOMES WITH BAD BRAKES. I RECEIVED A INFORMAL RECALL 18 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FAULTY BRAKES, DIME SIZE CRACKS IN THE ROTORS, ROTORS THAT ARE BLUE FROM HEAT. THEY WERE REPLACED WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT THAT FAILED. I'LL E-MAIL THEM TO YOU. WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FREIGHTLINER AND BOSCH RESOLVE THE PROBLEM? *TR
