Recall history

5 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

17V477000 · Exterior Lighting:Headlights

Reported: 2017-07-27 (July 27, 2017)

REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Fleetwood Discovery and Discovery LXE, and Holiday Rambler Endeavor, Endeavor XE, and Admiral XE motorhomes, as well as 2018 Monaco Diplomat, Fleetwood Pace Arrow, Bounder, Flair, and Storm motorhomes, and Holiday Rambler Navigator and Vacationer XE motorhomes. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with headlights that do not have tempered glass lenses.

Consequence: If the headlamp lens is not tempered, it may crack or break, which may cause decreased illumination and/or premature failure of the headlight bulb, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: REV Recreation Group will notify owners, and authorized REV dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace non-tempered, defective headlamp lenses with new headlamp lenses, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2017. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REVs number for the recall is 170720REV.

The existing microwave/convention oven on our motorhome stopped working. Removed unit so that I could replace it. Upon removal found that the wall behind the unit had been damaged by heat. The wall covering had melted and the wood substrate had charred. There appeared to be no damage to the back of the microwave/convention oven. At no time during the operation of appliance was smoke or burning smell noticed.

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.
