Fleetline / Nu-Line recall: Equipment
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
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.
The fix
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.
