Recall 08V-210: 2008–2009 Country Coach Inspire, 2008 Country Coach Tribute
COUNTRY COACH INC recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on May 8, 2008, covering about 26 vehicles.
The problem
Country coach is recalling 26 my 2008-2009 inspire and my 2008 tribute motor homes equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
The risk
If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
The fix
Country coach is working with saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (Please see 08e031). The recall began on may 20, 2008. Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271 or country coach at 1-800-547-8015.
