NHTSA recall 06V032000
Equipment · FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.
Details
What's wrong: Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of part 567, "certification." The federal certification tag may be printed with the incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) weight value of 31,000 pounds. The correct gvwr weight value is 28,000 pounds. The same weight error may occur on the cargo carrying capacity tag.
Why it matters: Overloading could damage the vehicle, adversely affecting vehicle performance including handling and braking, cause tire failure, and result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will send replacement labels along with instructions. If necessary, dealers will change certain front suspension components and certify the chassis for the 31,000 pounds gvwr weight value. The recall began on February 27, 2006.
