What's wrong?
The front truss on the 2015-2016 Holiday Rambler Vacationer is a structural support at the front of the motorhome. It helps hold the front framework in position and keeps routed parts, such as wiring harnesses and hydraulic lines, clear of pinch points as the coach moves and flexes.
On affected Vacationer motorhomes, the truss does not have enough support at its attachment points. Road movement and body load can let the truss sag. If wiring or hydraulic lines pass between the truss and its supporting framework, that sagging truss can pinch or crush them, damaging the lines or wiring that run through that area.
Owners can notice rubbing or squeaking noises from the front of the motorhome. Loosening bulkhead attachment components are another warning sign that the truss area has started to move out of position.

What's the safety risk?
A damaged wire harness can short, interrupt electrical systems, or shut the vehicle down. A damaged hydraulic line can leak fluid. Either problem increases the risk of a fire or a crash. Treat rubbing or squeaking noises, truss sagging, or loose bulkhead attachment parts as warning signs and schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Holiday Rambler dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Holiday Rambler technician installs additional steel to support the front truss. The technician also inspects the hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring, then relocates routed parts that need more clearance so they are not pinched or crushed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. The reimbursement record says a general plan is on file. If you paid for a related truss, hydraulic hose, or wiring repair before the recall work, keep your invoices and ask the service desk how to submit documentation.
