Details

What's wrong: These motor homes fail to comply with the requirement of federal motor vehicle safety no. 302, "flammability of interior materials." Failure to have the fabric treated with the right flame retardant before shipping.

Why it matters: The fabric could burn faster and cause injury if a fire occurs.

The fix: Dealers will replace the slip covers or the cushion if necessary. Also the fabric will be treated with a flame retardant to assure compliance. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about September 15, 2010.
