What's wrong?
The hydraulic leveling system on 2017-2018 Jamboree and Vesta motorhomes uses pressurized fluid to move the leveling jacks. Those jacks help hold the motorhome level when it is parked, and the hydraulic lines carry fluid between the pump, valves, and jack assemblies.
On affected Fleetwood motorhomes, the hydraulic lines were not properly secured to the chassis frame during production. A loose line can rub against the axle or drivetrain components while the motorhome is driven. That contact can wear through the hose or damage a connector, letting hydraulic fluid leak from the leveling system.
Owners can see hydraulic fluid leaking under the motorhome. The levelers also can fail to operate properly, which is the practical warning sign that the hydraulic system is losing fluid or pressure.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
A leaking hydraulic fluid line raises the risk of fire or a crash. Visible hydraulic fluid under the motor home and levelers that fail to work properly are warning signs. Take either sign seriously and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Fleetwood dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Fleetwood dealer to schedule the free hydraulic-line repair.
- Ask the dealer to secure the leveling-system hydraulic lines with insulated clamps and replace damaged lines, so leaking fluid stays away from axle and drivetrain components.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. Reference recall number 17V693 and Fleetwood recall 171102REV when you call.
- Watch for hydraulic fluid leaks under the motorhome until the repair is complete, and avoid driving if you see fluid leaking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fleetwood technician checks the hydraulic leveling system lines, secures loose lines with insulated clamps, and replaces any damaged hydraulic lines. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork for the hydraulic leveling system.
