2000 Fleetwood Tioga recalls

Recall 07V-120: Equipment

Reported Mar 19, 2007 · 167,096 vehicles affected · FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.

Problem: Certain motor homes and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (Gas flame) is present.

Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.

Fix: Fleetwood will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.

Recall 03V-452: Equipment

Reported Nov 4, 2003 · 60,877 vehicles affected · FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.

Problem: On certain travel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these ovens were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.

Risk: An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.

Fix: Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800-932-3837 or fleetwood at 1-800-629-8454.

Tires · reported Oct 29, 2007
The inside dual class d tire of a 23 foot motorhome (Approximately 10,000 pounds) went flat due to cracking failure of the valve stem. Instead of remaining intact, since it was supported by the other dual tire, the flat tire developed a 12 inch sidewall split where it meets the tread. Above the mid-range of the split the tread separated from the tire exposing a 3x6 inch section of steel belts. I observed on the inside of this tubeless tire flex fractures, that had severed the cord of the sidewall but not the outer rubber, extending several inches beyond the ends of the split. The cord and…

Complete tread separation and sidewall blowout. Air pressure checked prior to leaving on trip less than 150 miles prio to blow-out.

Tires · reported Jan 14, 2002
Tire blew out and the tread separated at 65 MPH; we were very lucky that the tire was an inside dual tire on the rear. Otherwise a crash was highly probable. (Tiresize: lt225/75r1)
Tires · reported Sep 19, 2001
We had a blowout of tire - tire was correctly inflated. Cost of changing tire was $55.00 the tire had 6000 miles and firestone store charged me half price of a new tires - $68.00 would not do full replacement of tire which I think they should have. Firstone steeltex-radial r4s lt225/75r16m5
Structure · reported Mar 6, 2000
With the coach empty except for full fuel, full LP and driver, the front axle weight is 4440 lbs. This leaves only 160 lbs of weight before exceeding the gawr on the front axle. Therefore, a medium weight person sitting on the passenger side could exceed this weight before any other supplies are loaded on the coach. This is a major safety problem that I AM not willing to live with and should not have been sold with these minimal cargo carrying weights.
