Fleetwood is recalling specific 2010 Class A motor homes because a defect in the alternator's voltage regulator could cause an electrical short and vehicle fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states the defect may result in a vehicle fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural/electrical defects posing severe risk.
