Other visibility problem on the 2006 Fleetwood Bounder
Only 7 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When other visibility problem gets reported
There are 7 reports of other visibility problem on the 2006 Fleetwood Bounder, 7 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 75,000 miles. It is the 1st most-reported problem on this model year.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | 34,500 miles | — | — |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Putting it right typically runs $150–$1,400 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 6 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2005, at a median of 15,000 miles, and latest on the 1996 at 45,000 miles.
By volume the 2004 carries the most reports, with 12; the 2006 has 7. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
Some of the double pane windows in the motor home are beginning to "fog" up between the panes of glass. The one that is of major concern is the driver side window that I look out of to see my side mirror is starting to "fog". I have not made on replacement of said windows as I will have to for it out of my pocket. Unfortunately, fleetwood filed bankruptcy and therefore are not liable for the failure. From what I am told the supplier of said windows are out of business as well. The failure was gradual over the time I had the motor home: purchased on feb 13, 2006 to this date dec. 19, 2010. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 fleetwood bounder. The contact stated that the front driver and passenger side windows were abnormally cloudy and impairing the contacts vision while driving. The dealer stated that the side windows would need to be replaced and the failure was caused because the windows were not closing all the way and causing air to seep in to form a cloud on the windows. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 40,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 fleetwood bounder rv. The contact stated that the passenger window became foggy due to the seal leaking. The failure caused his vision to be obscured when he had to look over to merge into another lane. The vehicle has not been inspected or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and advised him to replace the window at his expense. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000 and the current mileage was approximately 19,000.

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 7 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 7 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other visibility problem happen on the 2006 Fleetwood Bounder?
Across 7 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 35,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other visibility problem on the 2006 Fleetwood Bounder?
7 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 12 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
