THE SAME WEIGHT ERROR MAY OCCUR ON THE CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY TAG.

OVERLOADING COULD DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, ADVERSELY AFFECTING VEHICLE PERFORMANCE INCLUDING HANDLING AND BRAKING, CAUSE TIRE FAILURE, AND RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL SEND REPLACEMENT LABELS ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS. IF NECESSARY, DEALERS WILL CHANGE CERTAIN FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND CERTIFY THE CHASSIS FOR THE 31,000 POUNDS GVWR WEIGHT VALUE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 800-509-3418.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
