Recall 2012088 [Canada]: Other
On certain motorhomes, the cable for the transmission range indicator "prnd321" on the instrument cluster may be damaged by a sharp edge on the shift lever arm. If the indicator cable is cut, the indicator will remain in the "1" position (first gear) regardless of what gear is actually selected. With no gear indication, the operator may inadvertently select an incorrect gear, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: ford dealers will replace the transmission selector arm and indicator assembly.
Recall 2011283 [Canada]: Electrical
On certain motorhomes, a one inch plug-in circuit breaker (single pole 15, 20 or 30 amps) may have a non-conforming "spring clip" plug-in assembly that breaks or fails to provide sufficient force to maintain a proper electrical connection. Over time, this could lead to excessive temperature, arcing or thermal damage at the connection point. This could lead to a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace affected circuit breakers.
Recall 2011207 [Canada]: Electrical
On certain motorhomes, a wire harness mounted under the vehicle may contact the right exhaust manifold heat shield. Should the wire harness become damage, it could result in an electrical short, which could cause intermittent operation of the electrical systems (wipers, lights, etc.), vehicle shut-down, and/or lead to a fire. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash. Failure of the lighting system may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness, which could increase the risk of a crash. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. An electrical short could result in a vehicle fire. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiring harness. In addition, the harness will be re-routed to ensure sufficient clearance to the heat shield.
Recall 2010400 [Canada]: Brakes
On certain motorhomes, the brake calipers may stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will replace the brake calipers.
Recall 2013160 [Canada]: Label
On certain motorhomes, the compliance label does not contain correct tire information. The label incorrectly indicates 245/70r19.5f tires with 655 kpa (95 psi) tire pressure and 19.5 x 6.75 rims, instead of 235/80r22.5g tires with 620 kpa (90 psi) tire pressure and 22.5 x 7.50 rims. As a result, the tires may be under-inflated, or the vehicle may inadvertently be fitted with incorrect replacement tires and wheels. Overloaded tires may lead to poor vehicle handling characteristics, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.

The cabinets over the driver and passenger side of the motor home (rv). Dropped approximately 6 to12 inches. Few screws on the left side held it from dropping all the way down. It appears that the large screws missed the supports and the small screws never made it to the support. Nothing is kept in these cabinets except a few item that were put in at the factory.

The driver side rear view mirror is useless during most of the daytime driving. It reflex objects from the right side of the vehicle and the driver cannot see what is coming up on the left. The company is aware of it and will not do anything about it. *tr
