What's wrong?
The generator exhaust pipe on these 2019 Fleetwood Flair and Admiral motorhomes carries exhaust from the onboard generator out of the coach. It is supposed to exit where it has clearance from the road as the rear of the motorhome rises or drops over driveways, ramps, and inclines. That clearance is part of the vehicle's departure angle, the space the rear of the coach needs to pass over pavement without striking it.
On affected Model 32 S motorhomes, the exhaust pipe exits inside that departure angle. When the coach is driven on an incline, the rear overhang can bring the pipe into contact with pavement. The pipe can scrape, bend, or shear off because it sits in the path that should stay clear.
Owners can hear the warning sign. If the exhaust pipe touches the pavement, it can make a scraping noise or a breaking sound before or as the pipe is damaged.
Who's affected?
Covers the Flair and Admiral coach lines under the same recreational vehicle/trailer equipment component.

What's the safety risk?
A damaged generator exhaust pipe can let carbon monoxide enter the motorhome while the generator is running, increasing the risk of injury or death. If you hear scraping after driving on an incline, stop using the generator and schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Fleetwood dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fleetwood technician inspects the generator exhaust pipe and reroutes it if its placement exits within the motorhome's departure angle. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because repairs to all affected units are covered by that warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
