Details

What's wrong: On certain model d30b motor homes built on a Ford chassis, a plate, which is used to support the spare tire, was inadvertently left off a number of these motor homes.

Why it matters: Without this additional support, the spare tire could fall off the vehicle resulting in property damage and possibly personal injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the spare tire mount and, if necessary, install a new support plate. Owner notification is expected to begin during March 2003.
