What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009 Jamboree Sport and model year 2010 Jamboree, Jamboree Sport, Tioga, Tioga Ranger, and Encounter Class A and C motor homes. These vehicles were manufactured between April 23, 2009, and March 17, 2010.

The recall addresses a defect in the LPG supply lines for the water heater and furnace. These lines are routed through a hole in the floor and may become damaged by sharp edges if they are not protected. Damage to the LPG supply lines may result in a propane gas leak, which could lead to a fire.

Dealers will inspect the LPG supply lines and install wire looms to secure the lines as necessary, free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin during May 2010. Owners may contact Fleetwood at 800-509-3418 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
