Recalls on file

NHTSA has 8 recalls on file for the Fleetwood Revolution. The most common areas are 12v and 24v and 48v battery (1), exterior lighting (1) and general RV equipment (6). Each one is listed below as filed. A recall is fixed free at a dealer, even on a used rig, and even years later.

Recalls on the engine, brakes and chassis of a motorhome are often filed under the chassis maker, such as Ford, Freightliner or Mercedes, not under the coach. A VIN check shows both.

What is wrong. FLEETWOOD RV IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 AND 2006 MOTORHOMES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 24, 2004 AND MARCH 11, 2005, EQUIPPED WITH NORCOLD MODEL 1200LR, 1200LRIM, AND 1201LRIM REFRIGERATORS WITH SERIAL NUMBERS BETWEEN 1273701 AND 1536607, NON-CONSECUTIVELY.

AT SUCH HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE COOLING UNIT COULD RUPTURE.

12v/24v/48v battery · model year 2002 · 02V069000, filed March 6, 2002

Questions owners ask

Where can I find the Fleetwood Revolution owner's manual?

Fleetwood does not have manuals online that we could find. The makers of the fridge, water heater, furnace and slides do, and they cover most of the rig. Our free manuals on this page explain how each system works.

Does the Fleetwood Revolution have any recalls?

Yes. NHTSA lists 8 recalls for it. The most common area is 12v and 24v and 48v battery. Check your own VIN on the NHTSA site to see if yours was fixed.

Is a recall repair free on a used RV?

Yes. A safety recall is fixed free by the maker's dealers no matter who owns the rig now or how old it is. Call the maker or any dealer for that brand with your VIN.

Where is the VIN on an RV?

Look for a sticker by the entry door, inside a cabinet near the door, or on the tongue or front frame of a trailer. The title and registration show it too.

Renting one from us? Call or text 909-259-RVDR before you try a fix. We would rather talk you through it than have you guess, and it is free.
