Pictures have been...

stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue but declined to perform the recall repair due to not having enough space at their facility to perform the recall repair on the RV. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was attempting to locate a dealer that could perform the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
I was doing a pre-buy inspection on a 2021 Fleetwood Fortis with approx. 1300 miles on it. As I walked up to the vehicle after it was brought up to front of dealership I could hear what sounded like noisy lifters. I looked at engine from over front passenger side front wheel and could see arching across a separated ignition wire. I know Ford has had an issue with ignition wires on their new 7.3 Triton engine. But why hasn't a recall been issued? I would think that this is a serious safety issue. The other question I have is - Did Ford authorize the faulty wires because the right wires were not available?

with about 200 miles on it. (Delivery from plant in Indiana to Ohio) It now has almost 3000 miles. It has the 22.5 aluminum Alcoa wheels. Not sure if those wheels are installed at Ford during chassis build or at Rev/Fleetwood during coach build. Reported to Ganley Ford ( Ford truck service center) June 22, 2021.
My new vehicle is a class a motorhome. I have made 3 trips in the rv and find it very hard to maintain control on the highway. It is constant (white knuckle) driving. Large passing trucks are extremely dangerous, as they blow the motorhome all over the road. I have reported this to fleetwood motorhome and ford chassis assistance. Both seem to refer me to the other. Last contact with ford I was more or less told "it is what it is." Upon research of my issues, I have discovered after-market parts may cure this problem. Fleetwood replied back they are not assisting me with this. This is a major safety issue in keeping the rv on the highway.
