The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (Gas flame) is present.
Risk: Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
Fix: Coachmen is working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e032).

Recall 08V-193: Steering
Problem: Coachmen is recalling 961 my 2005-2007 cross country, sportscoach elite, my 2005-2006 cross country se, and my 2006 sportscoach encore class a motor homes built using inline power steering filters, part no. 14-16829-000. The filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Risk: Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Coachmen is working with freightliner to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (Please see 07v570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or coachmen at 1-574-825-5821.
Recall 05V-294: Electrical System
Problem: On certain rear diesel motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. The copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.
Risk: When the torque is relaxed, the lugs can become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.
Fix: Coachmen will be working with intellitec to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. The recall began on july 14, 2005. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-1174.
