2010 Fleetwood Bounder recalls

• Other#2012088March 6, 2012

  266 units affected

  On certain motorhomes, the cable for the transmission range indicator "PRND321" on the instrument cluster may be damaged by a sharp edge on the shift lever arm. If the indicator cable is cut, the indicator will remain in the "1" position (first gear) regardless of what gear is actually selected. With no gear indication, the operator may inadvertently select an incorrect gear, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Ford dealers will replace the transmission selector arm and indicator assembly.

  14 units affected

  Certain refrigerators used in Recreational Vehicles (RVs) contain either a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch to interrupt power when it detects high temperatures that could lead to a fire. An insufficient response time can result in the power not being shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a thermocouple with a faster response time for all refrigerators with a sensing algorithm or a thermal switch.

• Brakes#2010400November 11, 2010

  48 units affected

  On certain motorhomes, the brake calipers may stick in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end which, if undetected, could eventually lead to soft brake pedal condition due to brake fluid boil. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake calipers.

• Electrical#2010192June 8, 2010

  11 units affected

  Certain vehicles equipped with a Remy alternator may develop a low resistance short within the voltage regulator. In some cases, if the circuit does not open, the low resistance short could eventually generate enough heat to result in an engine compartment fire, which could cause property damage or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace any suspect alternator.

• Label#2010131April 23, 2010

  7 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the Tire Pressure Information Label contains incorrect front and rear tire pressure rating information. The correct front tire pressure rating is 95 psi and the rear tire pressure rating is 100 psi. Incorrect tire label information may lead to under-inflation of tires which could affect the vehicle stability and result in a loss of control. A loss of control may result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace incorrect labels.

• Brakes#2009215July 14, 2009

  702 units affected

  On certain motorhomes, the brake calipers may stick in the applied position.
