What's wrong?
The P2K bed lift motor in these 2021 Holiday Rambler motorhomes powers the drop-down bed. It turns a gear set inside the lift assembly so the bed can move between its stored position and its lowered sleeping position. When the motor and gears hold correctly, the bed frame stays supported instead of dropping under its own weight.
The problem is inside the motor's primary gear. A supplier manufacturing error left affected motors with a gear that can fail, which allows the bed frame to drop. REV identified affected assemblies by physical details on the motor: red and black wires, a red gasket at the gear box cover, and no LCI logo on the plastic gear box cover.
There is no warning sign before failure. The bed lift motor is not described as giving a noise, light, or movement change before the primary gear fails and the bed frame drops.

A matching model year and model name does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
A bed frame that drops without warning can injure someone in or near the sleeping area. Keep people clear of the bed lift area, and have the dealer inspect the bed lift motor before using the bed again. Repair is free at any franchised Holiday Rambler dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021 Holiday Rambler or Fleetwood motorhome is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Holiday Rambler dealer to schedule the free bed-lift-motor inspection and replacement that keeps the bed frame from dropping.
- Reference recall number 20V706 when you call, and give the dealer your VIN.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it.
- Avoid using the bed lift until the dealer inspects the motor, because the bed frame can drop if the primary gear fails.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Holiday Rambler technician inspects the bed lift motor and replaces it if the inspection shows the motor is affected. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the new vehicle limited warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected motorhomes are covered by that warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork for the bed lift motor.
