Fleetwood Recalls Class A Motorhomes Due to Misprinted Tire Pressure Labels

Fleetwood is recalling certain 2009-2011 Class A motorhomes because the federal certification tags have reversed tire pressure ratings. This could lead to improper tire inflation and increased crash risk.

What this means for you

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 (tire failure leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009 American Allegiance, American Heritage, and Revolution LE; model year 2010 American Eagle, American Heritage, and Revolution LE; and model year 2011 American Eagle, American Heritage, American Tradition, Discovery, Providence, and Revolution LE Class A motorhomes. These vehicles were manufactured between September 4, 2009, and January 5, 2011.

The recalled vehicles fail to comply with federal certification requirements because the figures for intermediate and rear tire pressure ratings in kilopascals (kPa) on the federal certification tag were printed in reverse positions. A misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation, which could result in a tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Fleetwood RV will mail the correct federal certification tags to dealers and owners along with installation instructions. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the installation for free. The safety recall is expected to begin during August 2011. Owners may contact Fleetwood Owner Relations at 1-800-509-3418 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
