2006 Skyline Weekender recalls
Recall 13V-652: Latches/Locks/Linkages
Problem: Skyline Corporation (Skyline) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 recreational vehicle travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through May, 31, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
Risk: If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Skyline will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on April 7, 2014. Owners may contact Skyline at 1-800-755-6521 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
Recall 08V-394: Equipment
Problem: Skyline is recalling 22,372 my 2004-2007 alliance, aljo, celebrity, century, freestyle, layton, nomad, rampage, seaview, trailrider, and weekender fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator 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: If this solution is exposed to an ignition source under certain specific circumstances, it can result in a vehicle fire.
Fix: Skyline is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e032). 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 the owner 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 skyline at 1-574-294-6521.
Recall 05V-491: Equipment
Problem: Certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110 "tire selection and rims." the tire and loading information placard contains incorrect information regarding the maximum cargo carrying capacity.
Risk: If the cargo weight is exceeded and the trailer overloaded, the excess weight can cause handling problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage. An overloaded trailer is hard to stop which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This could occur without prior warning.
Fix: Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. The recall began on october 27, 2005. Owners may contact skyline at 1-800-962-7773.
