checking for recall service

Hi there,
I am looking at a 2001 Fleetwood Bounder. I have the VIN and I see that there are a couple of recalls, one regarding the brakes. How can I determine if this particular unit was serviced due to a recall. The unit is on a dealer's lot so there might not be any records to review.

Thanks!
  • It depends whether the recall is from Fleetwood or the chassis mfr. You need to contact both.

  • You said that you have the VIN,just take that to the service Dept of the Chassis builder,mine is a Chevy, and have them run it on their computer. It will show what has or has not been done,and any Technical Service Bulletins that are on that chassis.

    I did this on my RV and they printed up all the recalls and if they were completed and service bulletins that pertained to that VIV#
  • Using the VIN the dealer should be able to get a confirmation letter from the manufacturer.
  • ON my coach they put stickers under the hood dating what and when each recall was done.
    If it is a coach you are serious about, and cannot find the info otherwise, have the dealer prove that all recalls are up to date. I would guess if they really want to sell the coach, they will make the effort.
  • Since you have the VIN, call the chassis mfg and ask them. They generally have those records readily available.
