The problem
Fleetwood rv is recalling certain model year 2011 terra class a motor homes manufactured from june 6, 2010, through october 4, 2010, for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The high-beam and low-beam headlights are not in the correct positions as specified by fmvss 108.
The risk
Incorrect positioning of the high and low-beams on headlights could result in glare to oncoming drivers and/or reduced visibility of the motor home increasing the risk of a crash with the motor home.
The fix
Dealers will remove the existing high-beam and low-beam headlights and replace them with different low-beam and high-beam headlights in order to comply with the applicable standards of fmvss108. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during november 2010. Owners may contact fleetwood at 800-509-3418.
