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 structural defect that poses a risk of personal injury, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Fleetwood Bounder Classic recreational vehicles. The affected units were manufactured between April 10, 2013, and August 7, 2014. The recall involves a total of 40 vehicles.

The defect is caused by insufficient structural reinforcement at the installation area, which allows a grab bar to be pulled loose. If the grab bar detaches during use, it could increase the risk of personal injury.

ARG will notify owners, and dealers will remove and reinstall the grab bar onto a reinforcement steel plate free of charge. The recall began on December 29, 2014. Owners may contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
