What is wrong
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL AND CONVENTIONAL TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH ALUMINUM WHEELS MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE PROPER WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE APPLIED. ADDITIONALLY, PAINT APPLIED TO THE MATING SURFACE OF THE HUB MAY CAUSE THE LUG NUTS TO BE MORE SENSITIVE TO LOOSENING DURING THE INITIAL SETTLING-IN OF COMPONENTS AND AFTER A WHEEL HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR SERVICE.
What can happen
A WHEEL SEPARATION COULD OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT, REPAIR, OR REPLACE ANY DAMAGED WHEELS, LUG NUTS, LUG STUDS, AND MATING SURFACES. DEALERS WILL ALSO REMOVE PAINT FILM FROM THE MATING SURFACES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 5, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-509-3418.

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.
