Dash Cluster Short. Replaced due to safety concerns by independent repair shop. Warning light for brake boost (transmission brake) came on with motor running which also told ecm that the parking brake was engaged. This left the possibility of slides and or leveling legs to activate since the motor had to be running and parking brake set to activate the slides and the leveling legs. After replacing the whole dash cluster the check engine light came on. The code indicated that three cylinders were miss firing. Took MH back to the same auto shop and after 40 hours of checking everything that could possibly cause a misfire they could not get codes to clear. The MH was road tested after each component was verified working properly but would still throw same code. Tech determined that the issue then was in the ecm itself. After purchasing special software to access ecm program could not read file. Tech then called Ford Motor Tech Dept asking for a program file for this motor which is a Ford V10 and was told that they did not have a program file for this vehicle. So now if I drive the MH I will not get new warnings if something else goes wrong as the check engine light is already on.

Unknown - Discovered that interior motor cowling was loose and missing fasteners to hold cowling in place. Also it was missing any rubber gasket to keep any engine fumes from entering the interior. Since the cowling was loose and not fastened, the interior was extremely noisy, i.e. 75 decibels.
- Unknown or other
The exhaust from the generator IS under the bedroom slide-out and I am concerned about running the generator while sleeping. I ask fleetwood about moving the exhaust to the back or to the other side of the coach and was told that this would void the warranty. The unite was stationary. *Tt vin IS invalid updated 9/4/18*jb
Service bulletins
Technical service bulletins and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about this vehicle. Ask a dealer for the full document by its number.
- 10164971The purpose of this exemplar message is to inform the selling dealers of certain Class A diesel motorhomes, manufactured by REV Recreation Group between May 31, 2019 and June 10, 2019, about the need to seal the area around the entry step cover on certain Class A diesel motorhomes. On the affected motorhomes, the additional sealing of the entry step cover is necessary to prevent wind noise and unwanted air flow into the passenger area. To correct the issue, a 35? piece of aluminum angle, supplied by REV Recreation Group, is to be installed; afterwards, the area is to be sealed with sealant (black 3M #540 or Sikaflex 221) and expandable foam. A total of 9 motorhomes, offered for sale in the United States, were affected at the time the dealers were contacted; a total of 7 U.S. dealerships were contacted. REV Recreation Group opted to email and call the dealers rather than publish a service bulletin, due to the small number of affected units and the practicality of addressing the matter quickly, before the vehicles were retailed. The reference in the exemplar message to either a ?fixed? generator or ?sliding? generator is in regard to the style of tray to which the generator is mounted; ?fixed? refers to a stationary generator tray; ?sliding? refers to a generator tray that slides on rails out of an opening in the fascia in the fiberglass front cap. Depending on which style of generator tray is installed, the procedures vary as to the method of accessing the area (located above the generator) where the piece of aluminum angle is to be installed.
