1995 HOLIDAY RAMBLER IMPERIAL recalls

THE REMOTE POWER SWITCH(ES) LOCATED ON THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR THAT OPERATES THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM IS NOT WATER-PROOF ALLOWING MOISTURE TO PENETRATE INTO THE SWITCH CREATING AN ELECTRICAL PATH.

THIS ELECTRICAL PATH CAN ENERGIZE THE MOTOR SOLENOIDCOIL STARTING THE MOTOR FOR THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM AND THE ROOM WILL BEGIN TOEXTEND. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE REMOTE SLIDE-OUT SWITCH(ES) AND LIMIT THE OPERATION OF THE SLIDE-OUT TO THE PRIMARY SWITCH(ES) MOUNTED INSIDE THE TRAILER.

THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL OVERSTATES THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) AS 5,000 LBS. THE CORRECT GAWR IS 4,670 LBS. THIS DOES NOT CONFORM TO FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: THE LOAD RATING FOR THE TIRES AND ATIRES PRESSURES DESIGNATED ON THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE INCORRECTLY STATED GAWR. INCORRECT TIRE AND TIRE INFLATIONS CAN RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

OWNERS WILL BE SENT REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATION LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING THEM. IF THEY PREFER, OWNERS CAN HAVE THEIR DEALERS REPLACE THESE LABELS FOR THEM.

THE AWNING ATTACHED FOR THE SLIDE-OUT ROOM CAN UNFURL OR UNROLL DURING TRANSIT CAUSING THE BRACKET TO RIP FREE OF THE SIDEWALL.

THE AWNING COULD BREAK LOOSE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION RESULTING IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL INJURY.

CAREFREE OF COLORADO IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. DEALERS WILL INSTALL ARM LOCKS, ANTI-BILLOW STUDS AND BRACKETS AS WELL AS WIND DEFLECTORS ON THESE AWNINGS.

WHEN OPERATED AT A HIGH SPEED, THE FRONT WIPER ARM CONNECTION TO THE WIPER DRIVE PIVOT SHAFT CAN LOOSEN CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM TO FAIL.

LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION RESULTS IN REDUCED VISIBILITY FOR THE DRIVER IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE WIPER SYSTEMS WITH A DIFFERENT WIPER SYSTEM DESIGN.

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURED BY THE DOMETIC CORPORATION, THE REFRIGERATOR MAY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE BOILER TUBE. PRESSURIZED COOLANT SOLUTION COULD BE RELEASED INTO AN AREA WHERE AN IGNITION SOURCE (GAS FLAME) IS PRESENT.

RELEASE OF COOLANT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS COULD IGNITE AND RESULT IN A FIRE.
