On certain motor homes, the electric power for the entry doorstep "last out" feature has not been provided and the entry doorstep will not operate in "last out" mode. the "last out" IS a safety feature that causes the entry doorstep to extend one last time if the entry doorstep power switch IS off and the vehicle ignition IS turned off.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and provide power so the entry doorstep "last out" feature IS active. owner notification began september 10, 2003. owners should contact fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.
These motor homes are wired in such a manner that the vehicle operator must ensure that the battery disconnect switch IS in the "use" position to activate rear cap tail lamps, stop lamps, backup lamps, turn signal lamps, and clearance lamps.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Operation of the motor home without these lamps makes the motor home less visible and does not signal turn, backup, or braking actions of the motor home, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will rewire the motor home so that the affected rear cap lamps remain energized whenever the chassis engine IS running. owner notification began march 18, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.
Vehicle description: certain class a motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the motor homes were not equipped with red reflex reflectors on the rear and red reflex reflectors/side marker lamps on the side as far to the rear as practicable.
Risk and remedy
Risk
At night, without this reflector installed, the approaching driver may not be aware that the vehicle IS ahead, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install the reflectors to the rear and side of the motor home. owner notification began november 16, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.

This investigation was opened based on odi's receipt of a congressional letter on behalf of a constituent.the constituent reported incidents where the slide out room of his motor home would inadvertently move (extend) during highway use.odi was concerned that a fully extended slide out would degrade the vehicle's dynamic handling characteristics and/or possibly impact an object or another vehicle, resulting in a crash.odi contacted fleetwood and discovered that slide out rooms were installed in motor homes, travel trailers and folding trailers. As part of the investigation odi visited a rv show and the fleetwood paxinos plant to examine slide outs in various new make and model vehicles and gain an understanding of how the systems work.during the investigation odi learned that there are two methods used to extend slide out rooms.some manufacturers use hydraulic systems and others, such as fleetwood, use an electric motor.
