Recall 05V-398: 1998–1999 Country Coach Intrigue

The problem

Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.' these motor homes were inadvertently assigned inadequate cold tire inflation pressures giving the tires a lower weight carrying capacity than the front and rear axle weight ratings.

The risk

This could lead to premature tire wear and potentially a tire failure which could result in the loss of steering control and result in a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace both the front and rear tires and issue a new federal tire label reflecting the corrected cold tire inflation pressures. The recall began on november 7, 2005. Owners may contact country coach at 1-800-547-8015.
