Recall 01V-170: 1996–1999 Country Coach Allure, 1995–2000 Country Coach Intrigue and 1 more
COUNTRY COACH INC recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on May 29, 2001, covering about 389 vehicles.
The problem
Certain motor homes fail to comply with requirements of FMVSS no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." these vehicles have an inequitable weight distribution between the front left and right tires on the front axle. This weight inequity can cause the left front tire weight rating to be exceeded.
The risk
This could cause premature front tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving. The premature tire tread wear or tire failure could lead to a loss of steering control.
The fix
Dealers will replace the height control valves and the height control valve configuration reversed to remedy this noncompliance. Owner notification began may 14, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact country coach at 1-800-452-8015.
