RV RELATED RECALLS FROM NHTSA FOR MAY 22, 2014


SUMMARY:
Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Free Spirit FS22, and FS22SS recreational vehicles, and 2014 Free Spirit FS22TE recreational vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the 7-pole trailer plug socket of the RV is wired such that towed vehicles or trailers will not illuminate their hazard lights if the RV's ignition is turned off.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the recreational vehicle is towing a vehicle or trailer, the RV's rear hazard lights may not be visible to other drivers and if the RV's ignition is off, the hazard lights will not illuminate on the towed vehicle or trailer, reducing its visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Triple E Recreational Vehicles will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the trailer plug wiring, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2014. Owners may contact Triple E RV at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E RV's number for this recall is CA#7835-1.



SUMMARY:
Open Range R.V. Company (Open Range) is recalling certain 2014 Open Range LF319 fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured October 23, 2013, through March 10, 2014. The flexible gas line for the kitchen slideout section is too short.
CONSEQUENCE:
When the kitchen area is expanded, the gas line may be pulled excessively resulting in a gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
REMEDY:
Open Range will notify owners and dealers will replace the existing gas line with a new longer gas line, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2014. Owners may contact Open Range at 1-260-768-7771.

In the affected vehicles, the tie rod threaded attachment may not be properly tightened to the steering gear rack.
CONSEQUENCE:
