- The fix

- The problem
- On certain fifth wheel and conventional travel trailers equipped with aluminum wheels may not have had the proper wheel lug nut torque applied. Additionally, paint applied to the mating surface of the hub may cause the lug nuts to be more sensitive to loosening during the initial settling-in of components and after a wheel has been removed for service.
- The risk
- A wheel separation could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect, repair, or replace any damaged wheels, lug nuts, lug studs, and mating surfaces. Dealers will also remove paint film from the mating surfaces. The recall began on august 5, 2004. Owners should contact fleetwood at 1-800-509-3418.
- The problem
- On certain conventional and fifth wheel travel trailers, the owner manuals either do not contain the wheel lug nut torque information or contain incorrect wheel lug nut torque information for the optional "aluminum wheel"
- The risk
- Vehicle operation without the proper torque applied to the wheel lug nuts could result in the lug nuts becoming loose and a wheel separation that could result in a crash.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with a label and insert to be added to the owner's manual. If the vehicle has the "aluminum wheel" option, owners are requested to bring their vehicle into a dealer to have the wheel lug nuts torqued to the proper specifications. Owner notification began november 26, 2003. Owners should contact fleetwood at 1-800-445-3307.
