NHTSA Campaign 98V282000

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:INTEGRATED JACK/LEVELER/STABILIZER

Issued by FLEETWOOD ENT., INC. · Reported Nov 5, 1998 · 31 vehicles affected

What's wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES. THE HYDRAULIC HOSES WHICH OPERATE THE LEVELING JACK SYSTEM WERE ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST OR NEAR A SHARP EDGE. THE HOT EXHAUST CAN CAUSE THE HOSE TO MELT, AND A SHARP EDGE COULD CUT THE HOSE, RELEASING HYDRAULIC FLUID.

Consequence

HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKAGE CAN BE IGNITED BY THE ENGINE'S CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAUSE A FIRE.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LINES AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE AND REROUTE THE LINES.
