Reported Apr 1, 1994121 vehicles affectedFLEETWOOD ENT., INC.Built Jan 1, 1994 – Feb 1, 1994

The defect

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.

The risk

If this happens a potential safety hazard and/or road obstruction could result.

The remedy

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.
