Fleetwood Southwind Recalled for Missing Emergency Exit Window

Allied Recreation Group is recalling 2015-2016 Fleetwood Southwind RVs because some may lack a required emergency exit window on the road side bedroom wall.

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 addresses a structural safety defect (missing emergency exit) that poses a risk of injury in an emergency, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Allied Recreation Group, Inc. (ARG) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Fleetwood Southwind recreational vehicles, model 32 VS. The affected vehicles were manufactured between April 16, 2014, and June 19, 2015. The recall involves 32 vehicles that may have been manufactured without an emergency exit window on the road side bedroom wall.

The missing window creates a safety hazard because, in the event of an emergency, an occupant's exit from the vehicle may be delayed or prevented, increasing their risk of injury.

ARG will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles. If necessary, dealers will replace the existing road side bedroom wall window with an emergency exit window free of charge. The recall began on August 14, 2015. Owners can contact ARG customer service at 1-800-509-3417 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
