Latest Discovery electrical complaints
The Dashboard Module provided by MEDALLION INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS Part# 66-02439-000 on the Freightliner Chassis is delaminating causing the critical gauges to become difficult to read. Additionally the screen will unexpectedly dim causing additional readability. I consider this to be a potential safety issue as it is unknown if and when the screen may go entirely blank. I have contacted Freightliner and they will not warranty the part even though it appears they own Medallion and this part is proprietary. ...

There apparent fix is a $6,000 replacement which is 2.5% of the cost of the motorhome. In the photos attached I do not have a photo of the dimming screen since this would be a safety issue to snap a picture while driving

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 fleetwood discovery. The contact stated that while parked, he noticed a burning smell and saw smoke coming from the electrical dimmer switch. There the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 11v192000 (electrical system) but was advised by the manufacturer that the 2008 model was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 6,200. *Tr
While driving on interstate the mmdc (multiple module data computer) went hey-wire. All gauges turned off. No speedometer, fuel gauge, temp, oil etc... Also the rv "jake" break (engine break) failed to engage. Search of the internet indicates that this has been an on-going issue with freightliner's mmdc thus putting many large trucks on the roads, and the people around them, in danger. The unit is made by medallion instrumentation systems. Please look into the number of mmdc failures (after market sales) to see if it warrants a recall. I have a fleetwood rv but apparently these things are in a lot of rv's and possibly big rigs all over the country. *Tr
Notice by fleetwood about the battery cable recall. Tried to get it fixed at rnr rv in liberty lake washington. They did not have parts, but ordered the parts. We are full time rvers and were unable to take the motor home back. They gave us the parts. Tried to get the problem fixed at another rv repair shop that is a fleetwood dealer. This dealer told me that they would not honor the recall and that we would have to pay for the recall. There is nothing in any of the information that I have that says there is a drop dead date to have the problem fixed or that we would have to pay for the fix. *Tr
I received a "fleetwood owners recall #90209 from fleetwood, pob 1007, decatur, indiana. I called today at 800-509-3418 to obtain approval for repair at a facility. I was informed by neil at that phone that "due to the fleetwood bankruptcy the new owners will not honor any safety recalls and I highly suggest you obtain and pay for this service yourself." According to the bankruptcy fleetwood was to honor warranty work, I have to assume that improper manufacturing procedures are indeed warranty work. *Tr
We have a 2007 fleetwood discovery. It has had some electrical problems that were repaired while it was still under warranty. We had not had any problems with it since nov 2008. In june while camping my husband went to open an outside bin and got shocked. If you touch the outside of the rv any where you receive an electrical shock if it is plugged in. It is not safe to use. This is a problem that should never happen and we have no idea how all of a sudden if the rv is plugged in it shocks you. *Tr
I was driving my 2003 fleetwood discovery home and the motorhome cut off and back on and then did it again. Before I could pull to the side of the road the alarm for the rear air brakes sounded and the gauge went all the way down to zero, and then it completely lost all engine and electrical power. I drifted to a stop. In my side mirror I saw smoke coming out of the rear drivers compartment. I ran to the rear of the motorhome and saw fire coming out of the second compartment from the rear. I opened the door and...

flames shot out. The fire was coming from the electrical wires and electrical boxes and power inverter. I tried to put it out with a fire extinguisher. But it went out and fired right back up. I called 911 and then grabbed a second and third one with the same results. When I got there with the fourth one the fire had spread to the top of the motor. As I was still trying to keep it under control a county sheriff came up and tried to help with another fire extinguisher. When the fire kept building he told me to get away. With in 5 to 7 min. The fire dept. Got there and took over. It took them about 30 to 40 min. To put it out. The firemen told me that it was and electrical fire. When it was over it was too far gone to save. I feel that it was and electrical defect and would like it to be investigated. *Jb
Driver information center displays various warning messages, low brake air pressure and similar messages during vehicle operation. Mounting location of the unit makes it impossible to read the display from the drivers location. Attempting to see the warning message diverts attention from the road and is hazardous and could lead to an accident. Full time light of the display has been done but has not improved the situation. Manufacturer has said they have no further solutions. Remounting of the display should be done do that it is readily visible from the driver's location. Information center is provided by freightliner but mounted in the dash by fleetwood.*Ak

On the date indicated, while the motorhome was plugged into 115v 30 amp a/c power, with one roof air conditioner operating, an electrical fire occurred in the junction box. The fire, apparently caused by a short circuit, consumed a considerable amount of wiring insulation. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to other material. Damage required replacement of the powertek breaker box and repair of the wiring. This was the second time that this had occurred in this motorhome. A very similar electrical short...

and fire occurred in july 2000. Damage was not as extensive and only the wiring needed to be repaired. These incidents are being reported to nhtsa as a safety hazard. Other owners of the discovery motorhome have reported similar incidents. Fleetwood has refused to provide me with any financial assistance to correct the damage resulting from the most recent incident. To the best of my knowledge, fleetwood has never acknowledged the problem. No recall has ever been issued. There are no special periodic maintenance procedures in the owner's manual nor have any been sent to owners. *Ak
