The contact owns a 2020 Fleetwood Fortis 34MB built on a 2020 Ford F-59 chassis. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the RV was vibrating. The contact pulled over, and upon inspection, she noticed that the bolts were loosened on the rear stabilizer bar attachment brackets. The contact's boyfriend purchased the bolts from the hardware store and replaced the bolts on the rear stabilizer bar brackets. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V73100 (Suspension) and stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue but declined to perform the recall repair due to not having enough space at their facility to perform the recall repair on the RV. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was attempting to locate a dealer that could perform the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

MY NEW VEHICLE IS A CLASS A MOTORHOME. I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS IN THE RV AND FIND IT VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS CONSTANT (WHITE KNUCKLE) DRIVING. LARGE PASSING TRUCKS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THEY BLOW THE MOTORHOME ALL OVER THE ROAD. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FLEETWOOD MOTORHOME AND FORD CHASSIS ASSISTANCE. BOTH SEEM TO REFER ME TO THE OTHER. LAST CONTACT WITH FORD I WAS MORE OR LESS TOLD "IT IS WHAT IT IS." UPON RESEARCH OF MY ISSUES, I HAVE DISCOVERED AFTER-MARKET PARTS MAY CURE THIS PROBLEM. FLEETWOOD REPLIED BACK THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING ME WITH THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN KEEPING THE RV ON THE HIGHWAY.
