Four Winds / Four Winds International recall: Engine and engine cooling
What is wrong
Four winds is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 freedom elite model 21c motor homes manufactured from february 2009 through may 2010. These motor homes do not have the required heat shield over the exhaust as specified by the chassis manufacturer. Without the heat shield in place heat is not properly dissipated around the exhaust of the vehicle.
What could happen
This potentially could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will install a heat shield between the exhaust and the residential part of the motor home to dissipate any heat accumulation. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on june 23, 2010. Owners may contact four winds at 1-800-860-5658.
