Recall 2006029

The issue

On certain motorhomes, the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, Federal Certification Tag and the Cargo Carrying Capacity Tag state the incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). An incorrect GVWR value of 31,000 lbs rather than 28,000 lbs was applied to the labels. Overloading a vehicle could negatively affect its handling characteristics and may result in a crash. Correction: Fleetwood will mail new certification labels and installation instructions to owners of affected vehicles.

Description (français)

Sur certaines autocaravanes, le certificat d'origine du fabricant, l'étiquette de certification fédérale et l'étiquette de capacité de transport de charge comportent le mauvais poids nominal brut du véhicule (PNBV). Un PNBV de 31 000 lb au lieu de 28 000 lb a été inscrit sur les étiquettes. Le fait de surcharger un véhicule pourrait nuire à son comportement routier et causer un accident. Correction : Fleetwood devra poster de nouvelles étiquettes de certification et des instructions d'installation aux propriétaires des véhicules visés.
