EquipmentRecall 12V-412 · 2013 Fleetwood Excursion
FLEETWOOD RV, INC. recall 12V-412 covers 74 2013 Fleetwood Excursion for a equipment problem, reported to NHTSA on August 21, 2012.
Source: NHTSA recall 12V412000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
Fleetwood RV is recalling certain model year 2013 Excursion motor homes manufactured from March 27, 2012, through July 24, 2012. A threaded fastener installed on the turn shaft of the slide-out mechanism may come into contact with a portion of the diesel fuel fill hose while the turn shaft is rotating. If the fastener makes contact with the fuel fill hose, there is a possibility that it will abrade the fuel fill hose and cause a leak.
The risk
Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire.
The fix
Fleetwood RV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, shorten the threaded fastener to achieve clearance of the fuel line free of charge. The safety recall began on September 11, 2012. Owners may contact Fleetwood RV owner relations at 1-800-509-3418.
Fleetwood RV's safety recall number is 120813FRV. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
