THE DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR IN OUR 2004 TIOGA CLASS C RV STOPPED WORKING WITH NO WARNING WHILE IT WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. WHEN THE COVER WAS OPENED FOR MAINTENANCE WE DISCOVERED A YELLOWISH DEPOSIT AND EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE FROM THE BOILER TUBE. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS MODEL WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL DUE TO NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FATIGUE CRACKS AND BAD WELDS IN THE BOILER TUBE OF THE COOLING UNIT.

ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SAMSUNG MICROWAVE OVENS, THESE OVENS WERE PRODUCED WITH A DEFECTIVE PANEL. AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR BETWEEN CIRCUIT PATTERNS ON THE MEMBRANE PANEL, ESPECIALLY OVERLAPPED BY A "JUMPER" OR JUMP WIRE. THIS MAY CAUSE THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS.

Consequence: AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE OVEN TO ACTIVATE WITHOUT PRESSING ANY KEY PADS. THIS COULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE HEAT, SMOKE, OR POSSIBLY A FIRE.

Remedy: SAMSUNG WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AND REPAIR THE PANEL FREE OF CHARGE. IN THE MEANTIME, CONSUMERS SHOULD UNPLUG THEIR MICROWAVE, IF POSSIBLE. IF THE CONSUMER IS UNABLE TO UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE, THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE DOOR AJAR UNTIL THE PANEL IS REPLACED. CONSUMERS SHOULD NEVER USE THE MICROWAVE OVEN FOR STORAGE OR LEAVE ANY TOWELS, PAPER, CLOTH OR OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE MICROWAVE AFTER USE. 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 SAMSUNG AT 800-932-3837 OR FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-629-8454.

CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH DRAW TITE HITCH RECEIVERS MAY BE MISSING ONE OR MORE WELDS BETWEEN THE HITCH RECEIVER BOX AND THE BOTTOM SUPPORT PLATE.

Consequence: THE WELDS COULD BREAK, ALLOWING THE HITCH RECEIVER BOX AND THE TOWED LOAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE HITCH RECEIVER. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING AUGUST 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-322-8216.

Reported: 2004-08-27 (August 27, 2004)

ON CERTAIN CLASS C MOTOR HOMES, THE RANGE TOP LIQUID PROPANE GAS (LPG) CONNECTION LINE IS A FLEXIBLE HOSE CONNECTOR. THIS HOSE IS ROUTED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A BURNER AND MAY MELT WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

Consequence: IF MELTING OCCURS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE RUBBER LPG HOSE CONNECTION IN THE RANGE TOP WITH A COPPER LPG CONNECTION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FEETWOOD AT 1-800-322-8216.

FLEETWOOD IS RECALLING 135 MY 2004-2006 JAMBOREE GT AND TIOGA SL 29S MODEL MOTOR HOMES. THE BLACK IRON PROPANE PLUMBING, LOCATED UNDER THE MOTOR HOME, MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, BECOME PINCHED OR CRUSHED.

Consequence: THIS COULD LEAD TO A PROPANE GAS LEAK AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND RELOCATE THE BLACK IRON PROPANE PIPE WITH A KIT THAT PROVIDES THE COMPONENTS TO MOVE THE LINE TO THE SIDE OF THE CHASSIS FRAME RAIL. DEALERS WILL PERFORM THIS REMEDY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 20, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-509-3418.
