What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (missing emergency egress) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed incidents.

Plain-English summary

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 Encounter and model year 2011 Storm 28MS Class A motor homes manufactured between December 16, 2009, and July 1, 2010. The recall addresses a defect where an emergency egress window was not installed in the road-side bedroom wall.

In the event of a fire or other emergency, occupants in the bedroom area must exit through the door-side bedroom emergency egress window or the forward entry door. If both the entry door and the door-side emergency egress windows are blocked, there is no way out of the motor home, which increases the risk of personal injury.

Dealers will remove the existing road-side window and replace it with an emergency egress window at no charge. The safety recall began on July 28, 2010. Owners may contact Fleetwood Owner Relations at 800-509-3418 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
