Fleetline is recalling certain Nu-Line and Fleetline Fender Brackets and Fender Kits with Fender Brackets, part numbers N230PMLH, N230PMRH, N230-19L, N230-19R, 1650-1, 1650-2, 1650-7 and 1650-8, manufactured January 1, 2015, to April 13, 2015. Due to an insufficient weld, portions of the affected fender brackets may separate, causing the fender to not be properly supported.
If the fender is not supported, it may contact the tires, and the fender may be torn from the vehicle, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
Fleetline will notify the end users who will be offered replacement brackets that bolt on, free of charge. The recall began on June 26, 2015. Owners may contact Fleetline customer service at 1-615-382-6100.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
