Recall history

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

17V003000 · Structure

Reported: 2017-01-03 (January 3, 2017)

REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2017 Holiday Rambler Vacationer XE, Admiral XE, Fleetwood Storm and Fleetwood Flair motor homes. The rear sway bar may not have been properly tightened and, as a result, the sway bar may detach from the vehicle.

Consequence: If the sway bar falls from the vehicle, it can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: REV will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the rear sway bar bolts, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 3, 2017. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 161229REV.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
17V072000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly:Filler Pipe And Cap

Reported: 2017-02-03 (February 3, 2017)

REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2017 Fleetwood Storm and Holiday Rambler Vacationer XE motorhomes and 2016-2017 Holiday Rambler Vacationer motorhomes. In the affected vehicles, the spring shackle bolt may contact the fuel filler components or the fuel vent tubing causing a hole, potentially resulting in a fuel leak.

Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy: REV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel filler tube and fuel vent components and re-route them or install additional components to shield them from contacting the spring shackle bolt, free of charge. The recall began on April 4, 2017. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 170131REV.

NHTSA campaign record ↗
17V197000 · Equipment:Other:Labels

Reported: 2017-03-21 (March 21, 2017)

REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2017 Fleetwood Bounder and Holiday Rambler Vacationer vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with Federal Placards that incorrectly list a tire size of 235/80R 22.5 G when the actual tire size is 255/80R 22.5 G. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Consequence: If the operator were to replace the tires according to the information on the Federal Placard, it could increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: REV will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2017. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 170317REV.

18V202000 · Equipment

Reported: 2018-03-28 (March 28, 2018)

The mounting screws for the satellite dish may not have been fastened through the sheet steel reinforcement, possibly allowing the satellite dish to detach from the roof while driving.

Consequence: If the satellite dish detaches from the roof while driving, it can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Remedy: REV will notify owners, and dealers will resecure the satellite dish to the roof with a metal reinforcement, free of charge. The recall began on May 14, 2018. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 180322REV. Note: This recall supersedes recall 17V-802. Any vehicle repaired under that campaigned is not included in this one as the remedy for both recalls is the same.

REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2016-2020 Fleetwood Bounder, Holiday Rambler Vacationer, and 2018-2020 Fleetwood Southwind motorhomes. The generator exhaust pipe placement exits the motorhome within the vehicle's departure angle.

Consequence: If the generator exhaust pipe is damaged, it may cause carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle, increasing the risk of an injury or death.

Remedy: REV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, replace and reroute the generator exhaust pipe, free of charge. The recall began January 30, 2020. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 191125REV.

This vehicle is equipped with a chassis/suspension and drive train that makes it extremely difficult to control on the road. The vehicle wags when a vehicle passes it and it also has excessive movement when caught in a crosswind. The vehicle is rated to pull up to 8000lbs. I was pulling a Jeep Grand Cherokee that weighs about 5000lbs. If the Jeep moved right the Vacationer would jump left and when the Jeep went left the Vacationer would go right. This combination of the Vacationer movement with or without the Jeep requires excessive vigilan…

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.
