Engine and engine cooling: manifold / header / muffler / tail pipe Fleetwood recall

The problem

Generator tailpipe can become damaged so that it terminates under the motorhome body allowing exhaust gases to leak under the motorhome and seep into the motor home. Consequence of defect: generator exhaust gases inside of the motorhome causes carbon monoxide poisoning which could result in death to occupants.

The fix

Reroute and/or modify generator exhaust system to assure that exhaust pipe remains open, unbroken, and extends past the side or end of the body.
