Plain-English summary

Fleetwood RV, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Bounder Classic and Terra motorhomes manufactured between July 9, 2012, and January 16, 2013. The recall involves 113 vehicles. The defect is that the tire load index letter printed on the Federal Certification Tag is incorrect, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with the requirements of Part 567, "Certification."
