2002 Four Winds Hurricane recalls

Recall 03V-449: Equipment

Reported Nov 4, 2003 · 12,918 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

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 four winds at 1-219-266-1111.

Recall 03V-069: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Mar 5, 2003 · 3,482 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

Problem: Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.

Risk: In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.

Fix: Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. Owner notification began may 13, 2003. 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 four winds at 1-219-266-1111.

Recent 2002 Four Winds Hurricane complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Service Brakes · at 16,000 miles · reported Sep 20, 2013
At about 16,000 miles the brake pedal began sticking down and had to be pulled back with my foot resulting in excessive brake pedal travel. After having two leaking pressure switches replaced, three master cylinders installed and the brakes completely rebuilt twice. The problem now at 134,000 miles was found to be the ABS module and valve keeping excessive pressure in the system and not allowing the pedal to return properly thus causing excessive heat buildup requiring replacement of rotors, calipers and pads on all four wheels twice.
