Fleetwood motorhomes built by REV Recreation Group have been recalled for two hazards. A damaged generator exhaust pipe may let carbon monoxide enter the cabin. Some Dometic propane stoves may leak gas, which could cause a fire.
The recalls cover Class A gas motorhomes from model years 2016 to 2021. They were sold under the Fleetwood and Holiday Rambler brand names.
As of October 2026, no lawsuit, class action or MDL names Fleetwood motorhomes. Three NHTSA recalls, which began between May 21, 2019 and December 2, 2020, are the only actions tied to these motorhomes.

On May 21, 2019, REV began NHTSA recall 19V306 for 63 model year 2019 Fleetwood Flair and Holiday Rambler Admiral Model 32 S motorhomes [3].
REV’s report to the agency is dated April 16, 2019. The generator exhaust pipe placement is the same one named in the later recall 19V860.
What Is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
According to MedlinePlus, carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that has no odor or color [4]. It is found in fumes from cars, trucks, lanterns, stoves, gas ranges and heating systems.
It can build up where fresh air is poor and cause sudden illness and death. The EPA lists generators, other gasoline-powered equipment and gas stoves among the sources [5].
Who May Be Affected?
Owners of 2016-2020 Fleetwood Bounder, 2018-2020 Fleetwood Southwind and 2016-2020 Holiday Rambler Vacationer motorhomes may be affected by recall 19V860. Recall 19V306 may affect owners of 2019 Flair and Admiral Model 32 S motorhomes.
The REV dealer bulletin lists these floor plans: 33C, 33CT, 34C, 34ST, 34T, 35K, 35DK, 35P, 36E, 36H, 36P, 36X, 36Y, 37BH and 37H [6].
Recall 20V615 may affect owners of 2020-2021 motorhomes with a Dometic R1731, R2131 or S31 stove. Whether you qualify for a claim needs an individual legal review.
Reported Injuries or Damages
No lawsuit alleges injuries from these motorhomes. The NHTSA records state risks only, and they give no injury, death or fire counts.
For recall 19V860, NHTSA says damaged exhaust pipes may let carbon monoxide in, “increasing the risk of an injury or death.” The REV owner letter says damage “could result in illness or death” [7].
For recall 20V615, the Dometic letter says tightening burner valve bolts after smelling gas “can cause irreversible damage to the o-ring seal” [8].
MedlinePlus lists headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion as the most common symptoms of CO poisoning. It adds that people who are sleeping or intoxicated “can die from CO poisoning before they have symptoms.”
Recall and Regulatory Background
For exhaust pipe recall 19V860, an authorized REV dealer should inspect and repair the motorhome right away. The repair should take less than one hour. Owners who paid for it earlier may be eligible for reimbursement.
If you smell propane, shut off the gas at the RV propane gas regulator, remove ignition sources and open doors and windows. Do not attempt a stove repair on your own. A recall does not prove liability.
Evidence to Preserve
If you were hurt in a Fleetwood motorhome, keep these records and items:
- The vehicle identification number, model and serial number
- Recall notices and repair orders
- The Dometic stove model and serial number
- Purchase, service and campsite or travel records
- Photographs of the generator exhaust pipe, the stove or any damage
- Carbon monoxide or smoke alarm readings
- Medical and emergency records
- Fire department or insurance reports
- Communications with REV, the dealer or Dometic
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where you live and when the injury happened and was diagnosed.
A missed deadline can end a claim, so speaking with a lawyer promptly helps protect your right to file in your state.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If My Fleetwood Motorhome Is Affected by a Recall?
Your Fleetwood motorhome is affected by the stove recall only if its Dometic stove was manufactured in November 2018 or later. For the exhaust recalls, its model, model year and floor plan must match the NHTSA record.
What Did the Fleetwood Generator Exhaust Recall Involve?
The Fleetwood generator exhaust recall involved a pipe routed to exit the motorhome within its departure angle. On an incline, the pipe can be damaged or sheared off, so exhaust gas may reach the cabin.
What Does the Research Say About Fleetwood Motorhome Carbon Monoxide Risk?
On Fleetwood motorhome carbon monoxide risk, NHTSA recall 19V860 says damaged exhaust pipes may let carbon monoxide in. MedlinePlus says CO symptoms may resemble other illnesses, so poisoning can be hard to recognize.
