What's wrong?
The headlights on the 2011 Fleetwood Terra are the front lamps that let the driver see ahead and let other road users read the motor home's position at night or in poor light. The low beams are meant for regular driving, while the high beams project farther ahead when conditions allow. Each lamp has to sit in the specified position so the beam pattern lands where the safety standard expects it.
On affected Terra motor homes, the high-beam and low-beam headlights are not in the correct positions required by FMVSS 108. The lamps can still turn on, but the lighting setup does not match the required layout. This is a compliance defect, not a burned-out bulb or a switch problem.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the issue is the installed headlight position, an owner does not get a dashboard alert or a gradual change in how the system works.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrectly aimed high and low beams create glare for oncoming drivers and reduce how well others see the motor home, increasing crash risk. Use extra care at night and schedule the headlight repair when the dealer can complete it. Repair will be free at any franchised Fleetwood dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Fleetwood Terra is included in this recall.
- Use the Fleetwood owner notice mailed on November 30, 2010, or call Fleetwood at 800-509-3418 if you never received it.
- Contact a franchised Fleetwood dealer and ask whether the free headlight replacement for recall number 10V577 is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the headlight replacement that puts the high-beam and low-beam headlights in the correct positions.
- Bring the recall notice to the dealer if you have it.
- Drive only as needed until the headlight repair is complete, and avoid nighttime driving when glare or reduced visibility is a concern.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fleetwood technician removes the existing high-beam and low-beam headlights and installs different low-beam and high-beam headlights so the lamp positions match the federal lighting standard. Fleetwood's filing says the work was expected to begin in November 2010 and that the service is free of charge. Confirm with a Fleetwood dealer that the recall repair is open for your VIN before planning service. Once available, parts and labor are covered under recall 10V577.
