Risk markers carried in the record

No park-it or park-outside warning is flagged in this vehicle's collected record. This does not establish that the vehicle is defect-free or that every notice is included.

The markers above summarize fields available in this dataset. A missing marker is not a safety finding. Recall status and remedy eligibility can depend on vehicle identification number, equipment, production date, and whether a repair has already been completed.

Recall distribution by component

1 component categories

Counts and shares use the vehicle-level recall records shown below. The horizontal bar is scaled to the largest category on this page.
ComponentCampaignsShareRelative volume
EQUIPMENT4100.0%

Component labels follow the source record's component field. Where the source includes a more detailed subcomponent after a colon, this distribution groups the record under the first component segment. Shares are calculated against 4 campaigns and rounded to one decimal place, so displayed percentages may not sum to exactly 100 percent.

Recall dates by calendar year

3 calendar years

These are recall notice dates, not vehicle model years.

The timeline groups campaign records by their reported recall date. This explains why the date range (2005–2008) can begin before or end after model year 2006. The underlying vehicle may be covered by notices issued in several different calendar years.

Summary
FLEETWOOD IS RECALLING CERTAIN CLASS A GAS AND DIESEL MOTOR HOMES, CLASS C MOTOR HOMES, CONVENTIONAL AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH NORCOLD REFRIGERATORS. A LOW CYCLE FATIGUE FAILURE IN THE SECTION OF THE COOLING UNIT WHICH GENERATES THE REFRIGERANT COULD ALLOW THE LIQUID SOLUTION TO SLOWLY LEAK.

Consequence
EXTENDED OPERATION OF A LEAKING COOLING UNIT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE FROM GAS WHICH MIGHT ESCAPE.

Remedy
FLEETWOOD IS WORKING WITH NORCOLD TO REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS. NORCOLD WILL PROVIDE THERMAL SWITCH KITS TO OWNERS ALONG WITH THE NECESSARY FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JUNE 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NORCOLD AT 1-800-767-9101 OR FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-509-3418.

Summary
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH KWIKEE BRAND ELECTRIC ENTRY STEP BUILT WITH A CONTROL UNIT MANUFACTURED BY AMERICAN TECHNOLOGIES, MAY DEVELOP AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DURING COLD WEATHER, ALLOWING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF THE PLASTIC CASE TO IGNITE.

Consequence

Summary
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION."

THE SAME WEIGHT ERROR MAY OCCUR ON THE CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY TAG.

Consequence
OVERLOADING COULD DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, ADVERSELY AFFECTING VEHICLE PERFORMANCE INCLUDING HANDLING AND BRAKING, CAUSE TIRE FAILURE, AND RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL SEND REPLACEMENT LABELS ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS. IF NECESSARY, DEALERS WILL CHANGE CERTAIN FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND CERTIFY THE CHASSIS FOR THE 31,000 POUNDS GVWR WEIGHT VALUE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 800-509-3418.

Summary
CERTAIN DIESEL CLASS A MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION." THE MANUFACTURERS' TOW HITCH RECEIVER INFORMATION LABEL WAS PRINTED WITH THE INCORRECT WEIGHT CARRYING CAPACITY VALUE AND THE INCORRECT TONGUE WEIGHT VALUE.

Consequence
THE WEIGHT LABEL ON THE HITCH RECEIVER PROVIDES THE MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT RATING AND THE MAXIMUM TONGUE WEIGHT RATING. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THESE RATINGS NOT BE EXCEEDED. FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR HOME FRAME, BODY, OR HITCH RECEIVER AND COULD CAUSE UNSTABLE DRIVING AND HANDLING CHARACTERISTRICS WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy
FLEETWOOD WILL MAIL OWNERS THE CORRECT TOW HITCH RECEIVER WEIGHT INFORMATION LABEL. IF OWNERS DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE INSTALLING THE LABEL, DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN AUGUST 4, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 800-509-3418.

This comparison is calculated from vehicle records for the same make and model year in this snapshot. It is a simple arithmetic average, not an industry benchmark. A model may appear under more than one configuration in the source data, and campaign counts do not indicate the probability that a specific vehicle has an unresolved defect.

Data source and interpretation

NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, retrieved 2026-11-01. Recall records reflect manufacturer reports submitted to NHTSA. Absence of a recall here does not mean a vehicle is defect-free.

This page reports 4 campaign records, groups them into 1 component categories, and places the notice dates into these calendar years: 2005: 1; 2006: 2; 2008: 1. These are derived views of the supplied records, not additional findings from NHTSA.

The collection includes model-year records with one or more recalls. It is not a complete vehicle history, VIN eligibility result, repair-status check, safety rating, or guarantee that the source has no later updates. Confirm current campaign details and vehicle applicability with official NHTSA information and the manufacturer.
