Recalled Vehicles:
1994 Fleetwood Flair
Component: Equipment:mechanical:carrier/rack
Manufactured by: Fleetwood Ent. , Inc.
Affected Units:: 121
Recall Summary:
The spare tire and wheel assembly is attached to the motorhome with a chain and pulley mechanism. If inadequate tension is not pre-loaded into this mechanism, road vibration can cause the friction clutch to slowly release or backdrive the mechanism, which causes the spare tire and wheel assembly to slowly lower and contact the road surface forward of the front axle.
How to Fix:
Dealers will install a square chain connector in the mechanism's tire support chain. Also, a redundant chain, bracket, and chain connector will be installed to physically connect the spare tire and wheel assembly to the undercarriage.
Recall Notes:
