NHTSA Complaint #10166277 — 1999 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER

ON MY 1999 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER MOTORHOME, GENERATOR WAS UNABLE TO DRAW FUEL FROM MAIN FUEL TANK. SUBSEQUENT INQUIRY ON BOUNDER WEB PAGE I FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS HAD IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AND UPON HAVING THE MAIN FUEL TANK REMOVED FROM COACH FOUND A RUBBER FUEL LINE HAD DISINTEGRATED AND THAT FUEL HAD BEEN PERMEATING THE FLOOR OF THE COACH FOR SOME UNDETERMINED TIME. I NOTIFIED FLEETWOOD CUSTOMER OWNER RELATIONS MR. DUANE MIXON AND HIS SUPERVISOR, MR. KEN COWLES WHO ASSERTED THAT IS WAS JUST LIKE A TELEVISION THAT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT FLEETWOOD HAD NO OBLIGATION TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THE MATTER ALTHOUGH I TOLD THEM THAT AT LEAST ONE OTHER OWNER HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ( I HAVE SINCE HEARD FROM ANOTHER OWNER WITH SAME PROBLEM). I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING THE DETERIORATED LINE AND THE AREA PERMEATED WITH FUEL BELOW THE LIVING COMPARTMENT OF THE COACH. I AND MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN LIVING IN SOME DEGREE OF JEOPARDY FROM THIS INVISIBLE DANGER AND I FEEL THAT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL OF THESE COACHES IS IN ORDER. *JB
