RVRESOLVE

SUMMARY:

Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho, Inc. (Trails West) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 RPM bumper pull recreational trailers manufactured October 2009 through January 2014 and equipped with a Suburban-brand SF-30 FQ furnace. In the affected vehicles, the plastic furnace intake fan may melt which can cause the furnace to overheat causing other plastic pieces to melt from the lack of air flow.

CONSEQUENCE:

The melting and overheating could result in a trailer fire.

REMEDY:

The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Trails West Manufacturing of Idaho, Inc. at 1-208-852-2200.

NOTES:

SUMMARY:

Spartan Motors Chassis, Inc. (Spartan Chassis) is recalling certain 2010-2014 model year MM motorhome chassis manufactured December 11, 2009, through January 30, 2013, and equipped with a sway bar and model 1253 front suspension. This front suspension design has increased rebound travel which may result in a binding condition of the sway bar end link which could lead to the breaking of the sway bar end links.

CONSEQUENCE:

Broken sway bar end links may result in poor vehicle handling, or sway, which increases the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:

Spartan Chassis will notify owners, and dealers will replace the old end links with new end links and an improved mounting, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in February 2014. Customers may contact Spartan Chassis at 1-517-543-6400. Spartan Chassis's number for this recall is 12012.
