TRAILER HITCHES
- The defect
- REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Fleetwood Bounder, Holiday Rambler Vacationer and 2020-2023 Fleetwood Southwind motorhomes. The tow hitch may become damaged due to stress or vehicle overloading, which can cause the tow vehicle to separate from the motorhome.
- What it can cause
- A tow vehicle that separates from the motorhome can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the hitch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 27, 2023. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-800-509-3417. REV's number for this recall is 230516REV.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,186 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Fleetwood vehicles have been recalled over the trailer hitches 3 times before this, most recently in July 2004 as 04V352000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V121000 (engine and engine cooling), 23V166000 (latches/locks/linkages), 22V949000 (equipment), 22V832000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by REV Recreation Group with NHTSA on May 18, 2023 as campaign 23V351000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
