Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Fleetwood RV improperly restricts independent repair facilities from diagnosing, programming, and repairing electronic systems installed in Fleetwood motorhomes.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Dealer-only programming requirements for multiplex electrical systems.
- Replacement controllers requiring proprietary software activation.
- Independent RV technicians unable to complete repairs.
- High dealer diagnostic and programming fees.
- Extended repair delays.
- Significant downtime during camping season.
- Limited repair choices after warranty expiration.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Modern Fleetwood RV coaches rely on integrated electronic control systems that manage nearly every major coach function. Consumers allege that replacing failed electronic components often requires manufacturer-controlled software unavailable to independent repair providers, increasing repair costs and reducing competition.
Potential Claims May Include
- Consumer Protection
- Deceptive Trade Practices
- Breach of Warranty
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
- Failure to disclose material repair restrictions
