08- Accessories#2017627
144,034 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.

- Powertrain#2015255
307 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the wheel hubs may have been manufactured with defective wheel studs, which could cause a complete separation of the wheel(s) from the travel trailer and a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective hubs.
- Electrical#2014519
370 units affected
On certain travel trailers, the wiring to the 12V breakers located by the battery may not be connected to the protected terminal of the breaker. This could result in an electrical short on the unprotected circuit, increasing the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will verify the wiring to the breakers is connected to the protected terminal, and if not, make the necessary correction.
- Fuel System#2014456
5 units affected
On certain trailers, a clamp at the generator fuel filter and fuel tank may not have been installed correctly. If the fuel line were to become disconnected, it could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and reposition the clamp if necessary.
- Other#2012081
4 units affected
On certain toy hauler trailers, a frame support (on either side of the vehicle) may rub against the tires when the vehicle is loaded or driven over bumps. Tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will remove the interfering frame supports and install updated supports which allows proper clearance to the tires.
- Wheels#2012009
53 units affected
On certain toy hauler trailers equipped with 16 inch aluminium wheels, the decorative center cap does not provide adequate clearance to allow the wheel to fully seat on the hub face. This could allow a wheel to loosen and detach while the vehicle is underway. A wheel separating from the vehicle could cause a loss of control and a crash. In addition, the errant wheel assembly could strike a vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the center cap on each wheel.
- Other#2011301
44 units affected
On certain Rubicon toy hauler trailers, the furnace exhaust vent may not have been installed during vehicle assembly. If the furnace is operated without exhaust ventilation, carbon monoxide will vent inside the trailer, which could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. The heat build-up from the exhaust can also result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect to ensure the furnace exhaust vent is present and correctly installed. If the vent was omitted, it will be added.
- Fuel System#2011009
18 units affected
Certain travel trailers were equipped with a defective fuel shut-off timer module for the fuel dispensing system. This module was supposed to be programmed with a 5 minute shut-off feature, which automatically shuts off the fuel pump after 5 minutes of no activity. The defective modules do not have this automatic shut-off feature programmed into them. This allows the fuel pump to continuously run if not shut off in the initial 5 minute period, causing it to overheat and fail. Overheating of the fuel pump could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel shut-off timer module.
