Recall 14V194000: 2012–2014 Free Spirit FS22, 2012–2014 Free Spirit FS22SS, 2014 Free Spirit FS22TE

The problem

Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Free Spirit FS22, and FS22SS recreational vehicles, and 2014 Free Spirit FS22TE recreational vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the 7-pole trailer plug socket of the RV is wired such that towed vehicles or trailers will not illuminate their hazard lights if the RV's ignition is turned off.

The risk

If the recreational vehicle is towing a vehicle or trailer, the RV's rear hazard lights may not be visible to other drivers and if the RV's ignition is off, the hazard lights will not illuminate on the towed vehicle or trailer, reducing its visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Triple E Recreational Vehicles will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the trailer plug wiring, free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2014. Owners may contact Triple E RV at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E RV's number for this recall is CA#7835-1.
