What's wrong
FLEETWOOD IS RECALLING 124 MY 2009 TIOGA AND JAMBOREE 31M CLASS C MOTOR HOMES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION." THE CERTIFICATION TAG AND THE CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY TAG FIGURES RELATED TO THE FRESH WATER TANK CAPACITY OF 50 GALLONS IS INCORRECT. THE CORRECT WATER TANK CAPACITY IS 35 GALLONS.
The risk
A MISPRINT LABEL COULD LEAD TO FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER VEHICLE LOADING SPECIFICATIONS. OVERLOADING COULD DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, ADVERSELY AFFECTING VEHICLE PERFORMANCE INCLUDING HANDLING AND BRAKING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL MAIL NEW SERIAL NUMBER SPECIFIC CERTIFICATION TAGS AND CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY TAGS ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. IF CUSTOMERS DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE INSTALLING THE TAGS THEY MAY TAKE THEIR MOTOR HOMES TO ANY FLEETWOOD DEALER AND THEY WILL PERFORM THIS SERVICE FREE OF CHARGE.
