Details

What's wrong: On certain class c motor homes, the front axle weight, in an unloaded condition, may exceed the front gross axle weight rating (gawr) of 4600 pounds.

Why it matters: Overloading or exceeding the front gawr may create axle fatigue or failure resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash.

The fix: Fleetwood has installed a heavier new rear bumper to redistribute weight from the front axle to the rear axle on all affected vehicles. Fleetwood also corrected and replaced the federal certification tag and the cargo carrying capacity tag. All vehicles will be repaired before selling.
