2004 Georgie Boy Landau recalls

Recall 09V-193: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jun 2, 2009 · 2,555 vehicles affected · COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC

Problem: Coachmen is recalling 2,555 my 2000-2009 georgie boy and coachmen recreational trailers equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. The driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver.

Risk: The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign please see 09v-110. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731 or coachmen at 1-574-266-4030, option 5.

Recall 08V-639: Equipment

Reported Dec 4, 2008 · 13,662 vehicles affected · COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC

Problem: Coachmen is recalling 13,662 my 2002-2008 motor homes, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with glass shower doors and manufactured from june 15, 2001 thorugh august 6, 2007. When pressure is applied to the towel bar on the glass shower door, the edge of the bar may contact the glass.

Risk: Glass breakage may occur which could cause personal injury.

Fix: Owners will be provided with new mounting hardware for the towel bar and installation instructions. If an owner is not comfortable replacing the hardware themselves, a dealer will install the hardware at no cost to them. The recall is expected to begin on or about december 19, 2008. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-5821.

Recall 06V-352: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Sep 13, 2006 · 1,332 vehicles affected · COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC

Problem: On certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.

Risk: In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.

Fix: Workhorse is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (Please see 06v225). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 877-294-6773 or coachman at 219-825-8528.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 10,700 miles · reported Oct 20, 2008
I have a 2004 georgie boy motorhome on a workhorse w20 chassis and when my family and I were returning from a trip, we could smell something burning. When I pulled the motorhome over to investigate where the smell was coming from, I noticed a fluid on the front driver's side tire. It was hot and smelled like brake fluid. Apparently the caliper shot out some fluid out or something and when I touched the rim, it was extremely hot. When I was driving it home, I also felt a pulling to the left as I was going down a straight part of the highway. Now the ABS light is illuminated. I have not taken it…
