THE INSIDE LIGHTS OF THE CAMPER REMAINED ON WHILE IT WAS FOLDED DOWN AND BURNED THE DRAPES AND MELTED THE WINDOWS AS WELL AS THE LIGHT FIXTURE. IT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE IGNITED THE PROPANE SYSTEM IF IT WAS NOT DISCOVERED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURE SITE IT AS OWNER ERROR, BUT IT SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE LIGHTS TO HAVE POWER WHEN THE TRAILER IS FOLDED DOWN SINCE THERE IS A SWITCH THAT CUTS THE POWER INSIDE THE TRAILER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE FAILING TO REPAIR THE PART. *TR

ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, THE POWER LIFT ROOF SYSTEM, WHICH CONSISTS OF A POWER LIFT MOTOR AND CURRENT LIMITER CONTROLLER, GENERATES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF IMPACT TORQUE IF THE POWER LIFT IS OPERATED WITH THE 30A POWER CORD PLUGGED INTO A 110V AC POWER SOURCE (WITH OR WITHOUT A BATTERY).

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE FAILURE IN ONE OF THE SHEAR PINS RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER'S LIFT SYSTEM. THIS COULD ALLOW THE ROOF TO FREE-FALL FROM THE RAISED POSITION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY, VEHICLE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH TWO WARNING STICKERS THAT EXPLAINS THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE POWER LIFT ACCESSORY USING A BATTERY ONLY. ONE STICKER WILL BE PLACED AT THE REAR OF THE TRAILER NEXT TO THE CURRENT LIMITER. THE SECOND STICKER WILL BE PLACED NEXT TO THE 30A POWER CORD OUTLET. IN ADDITION, FLEETWOOD FOLDING TRAILERS WILL SEND A COPY OF THE OPERATION MANUAL THAT EMPHASIZES THE BATTERY-ONLY OPERATION OF THIS TRAILER ACCESSORY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 8, 2008.
