Reported Jun 14, 2007 · 1,051 vehicles affected · COUNTRY COACH INC

Problem: Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the side marker lights in the combination headlight and tail light assemblies do not meet the minimum photometric value and 45 degrees as specified in the standard.

Risk: The inadequacy of the front and rear side marker lights could affect visibility of the motor home during hours of darkness that could potentially result in a motor vehicle crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the marker lights on the side as close as reasonable to the front and rear corners and wired into the park light system free of charge. The recall began on march 19, 2008. Owners may contact country coach at 1-800-547-8015.

Recall 04V-463: Equipment

Reported Sep 21, 2004 · 349 vehicles affected · COUNTRY COACH INC

Problem: On certain motor homes, liquid propane (Lp) gas cook tops were installed using a flexible rubber hose that could burn or melt.

Risk: If undetected, the hose could burn through and result in a LP gas fire.

Fix: Dealers will replace the cook top rubber hose with copper tubing. The recall began on november 8, 2004. Customers can contact country coach at 1-541-998-3720.

Recall 04V-464: Electrical System

Reported Sep 21, 2004 · 380 vehicles affected · COUNTRY COACH INC

Problem: On certain motor homes, a circuit breaker in the clearance light circuit does not protect the circuit from a too high amperage draw caused by a towed passenger vehicle.

Risk: The circuit breaker can overheat the wire and insulation to a point which could cause a fire.

Fix: Dealers will replace the defective circuit breakers. The recall began on november 8, 2004. Customers can contact country coach at 1-541-998-3720.

Recall 04V-259: Steering

Reported Jun 7, 2004 · 527 vehicles affected · COUNTRY COACH INC

Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with an independent front suspension (Ifs) gen II built by holland USA, the gear plate support gussets were removed. This can allow the plate to flex during a static steer condition.

Risk: The flexing may result in stress cracking which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle steering control which could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Holland USA is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. A bolt-on strengthening of the steering gear plate with u-bolts connecting the cross member to each side of the gear plate at the rear plus a tube support in the front with j-bolts to the gear plate will be installed. Owners should contact holland USA customer service at 1-888-396-6501 for information and instructions for where customers can take their vehicles to have the repairs done free of charge.
