08V421000 · Equipment:Mechanical:Carrier/Rack
Reported: 2008-08-15 (August 15, 2008) · Model years: 2007, 2008
PLEASURE-WAY IS RECALLING 127 MY 2007-2008 ASCENT AND PLATEAU CLASS B MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH A REAR HITCH MOUNT TIRE CARRIER. THESE MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.' THE TIRE CARRIER IMPEDES THE TAIL LIGHT VISIBILITY.
Consequence: POOR REAR TAIL LIGHT VISIBILITY COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE HITCH MOUNT SPARE TIRE CARRIER AND ALL RELATED HARDWARE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PLEASURE-WAY AT 1-800-364-0189.
NHTSA campaign record ↗19V673000 · Equipment
Reported: 2019-09-23 (September 23, 2019) · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020
Pleasure Way Industries Ltd. (Pleasure Way) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Plateau, Plateau XL, Ascent and Lexor motorhomes equipped with a Fiamma F45 Eagle or Fiamma F65 Eagle awning. The awning drive mechanism may fail causing the awning to extend unexpectedly without input from the user.
Consequence: If the awning unexpectedly extends while the vehicle is parked, the awning may hit an occupant within its range, increasing the risk of an injury. If the awning unexpectedly extends while the vehicle is in motion, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Pleasure Way will notify owners, and dealers will install straps to keep the awning closed, as a temporary solution, free of charge. Fiamma will provide a permanent solution. Pleasure Way issued owners an interim notification on October 7, 2019. The recall began March 5, 2020. Owners may contact Pleasure Way customer service at 1-800-364-0189.
NHTSA campaign record ↗22V616000 · Electrical System:Wiring:Fuses And Circuit Breakers
Reported: 2022-08-10 (August 10, 2022) · Model years: 2021, 2022
Pleasure Way Industries, Ltd. (Pleasure Way) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Plateau FL, Rekon, Ontour 2.2, Ontour 2.0, Ascent and Tofino motorhomes. The DCF 4 circuit board is labeled for 30 amps, while the pins for the fuse holder are only rated for 20 amps, which can overload the circuit board and cause the fuse or wiring to overheat or melt.
Consequence: Overheating or melting of wiring increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will relabel the DCF4 circuit board, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 19, 2022. Owners may contact Pleasure Way's customer service at 1-800-364-0189.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2021: 1 complaints · 2022: 0 complaints
