Problem REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2017 Fleetwood Storm and Holiday Rambler Vacationer XE motorhomes and 2016-2017 Holiday Rambler Vacationer motorhomes. In the affected vehicles, the spring shackle bolt may contact the fuel filler components or the fuel vent tubing causing a hole, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. Risk A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Fix REV will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel filler tube and fuel vent components and re-route them or install additional components to shield them from contacting the spring shackle bolt, free of charge. The recall began on April 4, 2017. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 170131REV.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 170131REV is the number Holiday Rambler assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V072000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
