WHILE ADDRESSING AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERIES A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE WERE INFORMED BY OUR DEALER THAT SERIOUS CRACKS HAD BEEN FOUND IN THE VERTICAL WELDS OF THE SUPPORT BEAMS WHICH HOLD THE FRONT BUMPER AND BATTERY ASSEMBLY TO THE "A" FRAME. THESE CRACKS AS SHOWN TO US IN PHOTOS, RUN HALF WAY DOWN THE VERTICAL WELDS CRUCIAL IN SUPPORTING THE BUMPER ASSEMBLY. WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT NOR HAVE WE MODIFIED THE BUMPER WITH ATTACHMENTS. THE ORIGINAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN INFORMED US THAT OVER THE YEARS HE HAS SEEN THIS TYPE OF SEPARATION ON BOUNDER/FLEETWOOD MODELS. *LA

OUR MOTORHOME HAS A REAR DIESEL ENGINE. THE ACCELERATOR CABLE RUNS FROM THE LEFT FRONT BACK TO THE ENGINE, CROSSING OVER IN FRONT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE MUFFLER BURNED OUT, THE TAIL PIPE SEPARATED FROM THE MUFFLER, LEANING FORWARD INTO THE ACCELERATOR CABLE, BURNING INTO THE CABLE. THIS CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO LOCK UP AT 55 MPH. HAD TO APPLY BRAKES TO AVOID HAVING AN ACCIDENT, CAUSING THE BRAKE HUBS TO CRACK BADLY. MECHANIC SAID THE ACCELERATOR CABLE SHOULD NOT HAVE ROUTED ACROSS THE ENGINE IN THE AREA OF THE TAIL PIPE. HE RE-ROUTED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE. I TURNED THIS INTO OSHKOSH TRUCK CORP AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SATISFACTORY ANSWER FROM THEM. THEY TOLD ME TO SEND THEM AN…
