• 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.

• 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.

Windshield wiper cleaning area leave a large untouched area 12-14 inches between the blades; during heavy rain or snow showers. It is bad enough that i can not see the right shoulder of hwy. And have difficultly seeing the road as i drive around righthand turns. The clean area height is only barely eye level(i'm 5' 4") which makes seeing signal lights difficult. I feel this a safety issue when i cannot see the whole road when i drive in poor weather conditions. O'connor's rv (my rv dealer) in chilliwack,b.C.,canada, has contacted the manufacturer, fleetwood; their reply was that this problem will be corrected on their 2012 models. This change on next year model does not help correct my problem or anyone else with a 2011 model, leaving us with an unsafe vehicle to drive in rain or snow showers due to poor visibility. I am hoping that you are able help me correct this safety issue. *tr
