2008 Coachmen Freedom Express 31 recalls

Recall 07V-539: Electrical System

Reported Nov 21, 2007 · 395 vehicles affected · COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC

Problem: On certain class c mini-motor homes, the 12 volt slideroom wire connection to the chassis ignition system may be wired incorrectly causing the brake on the slideroom motor to disengage when the ignition is in the 'on' or 'run' position. This could cause the slideroom to 'relax' and possibly move to the out position while in transit if the travel locks provided with the vehicle are not installed as recommended.

Risk: Should the slideroom extend while the vehicle is in motion, a crash could occur.

Fix: Dealers will properly wire the slideroom motor brake activation system free of charge. The recall began on december 20, 2007. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.
