Known Recall Investigations
Inadvertent slide-out extension movement investigation # PE06005
This investigation was opened based on odis receipt of a congressional letter on behalf of a constituent.The constituent reported incidents where the "slide out" room of his motor home would inadvertently move (extend) during highway use.Odi was concerned that a fully extended slide out would degrade the vehicles dynamic handling characteristics and/or possibly impact an object or another vehicle, resulting in a crash.Odi contacted fleetwood and discovered that slide out rooms were installed in motor homes, travel trailers and folding trailers. As part of the investigation odi visited a rv show and the fleetwood paxinos plant to examine "slide outs" in various new make and model vehicles and gain an understanding of how the systems work.During the investigation odi learned that there are two methods used to extend slide out rooms.Some manufacturers use hydraulic systems and others, such as fleetwood, use an electric motor.
