Fleetwood Excursion 2013

• Recall 95349 [USA]: Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire.
  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.
  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.

• Recall 2012426 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, the connector for the brake and cruise control signal diode jumper assembly may come loose, resulting in a possible intermittent or continuously open circuit. Two circuits are potentially affected. One circuit disengages the cruise control with brake pedal application, and the other circuit illuminates the brake lights with brake application. Failure of the cruise control to disengage, or of the brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed, could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will verify that the locking tabs on the diode jumper assembly connector are fully engaged and locked into place.

• Recall 2012288 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain motorhomes, the mechanism for the slide-out room could contact and damage the fuel filler hose. This could allow diesel fuel to leak onto the ground while refuelling the vehicle. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the slide-out mechanism turn shaft threaded fastener.

Examination of the underside of the sofa/couch of the motorhome revealed that the securing bolts have never been installed. The sofa is a seatbelt zone, and without proper mounting to the deck of the rv, the couch is a safety hazard to occupants who sit in the sofa. The rig is rated for 5 seatbelted passengers (driver, passenger, and three on couch). This was reported to dealer service department and they refused to rectify. Further investigation by owner indicates that vehicle likely left the factory in this condition as it does not appear that holes were ever in alignment to secure the sofa to the deck. I've advised fleetwood and the authorized fleetwood service department at la mesa rv center (davis, ca) and they have refused to rectify. *tr
