Keystone RV is recalling certain model year 2010 Raptor fifth wheel motorhomes manufactured from September 25, 2009 through March 2, 2010. The remote receiver is not compatible with the high speed landing gear motor. If the motor is operated in a binding situation, the remote receiver may be damaged and overheat due to an inadequate breaker and fuse protection and the excessive current draw of the motor. Continuing to operate the landing gear motor in this condition will increase the risk of fire. Keystone RV will notify owners and the vehicles will be repaired free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during July 2010. Owners may contact Keystone RV at 1-866-425-4369.

Champion Bus has notified NHTSA of a defect in certain model year 2007-2010 motorhomes fitted with
Ricon public use lifts. The restraint belt on these lifts was designed to prevent the lift from moving,
unless the tongue of the belt is fully engaged and latched in the buckle. Ricon has discovered, however,
that it is possible for the operator to insert the belt tongue into the buckle without fully engaging the
latching mechanism. In this case, the restraint belt would appear to be latched, and the operator could run
the lift. If the restraint belt tongue is not fully engaged into the restraint belt buckle, and latched, the lift
may operate with an occupant on the platform. The user of the lift could be injured should the lift move
without the restraint belt properly buckled. Champion bus is working with Ricon and Ricon will be
handling the remedy for this campaign. Please see Ricon's defect report 09E-060. Ricon will provide
customers with a warning decal and a DVD-based training aid. The safety recall is expected to begin
during April 2010. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884, emailing at

Fleetwood RV is recalling certain model year 2010 Bounder Classic 30T and Encounter 28MS, 30SA and
32BH class a motor homes manufactured February 26, 2010 through March 29, 2010 for failing to
comply with the requirements of part 567, "Certification." The federal certification tag was printed with
an incorrect rear tire psi and/or incorrect tire size. This does not meet the requirements of the standard.
Fleetwood will mail correct federal certification tags to dealers and owners along with installation
instructions. If customers do not feel comfortable installing the tags they may take their motor home to
any Fleetwood dealer and they will perform this service free of charge. The safety recall began on May 3,
2010. Owners may contact Fleetwood at 800-509-3418.

Heartland is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Cyclone fifth wheel trailers for failing to comply
with the requirements of Part 567, "Certification." It has been determined that these vehicles were
manufactured with incorrect axle information printed on the federal certification label. The actual axle
rating (GAWR) is 5,080 lbs and is listed as 5,200 lbs on the label. A vehicle with the axles loaded beyond
the specified weight rating may result in axle failure leading to poor vehicle handling and increasing the
risk of a crash. The Federal certification label will be replaced free of charge with one that has the correct
GAWR listed for each axle. The recall is expected to begin during April 2010. Owners may contact
Heartland at 1-877-262-8032.
