Service brakes, hydraulic:fluid
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.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
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.
Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Coachmen is recalling 37,293 motorhomes and fifth wheel travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. 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). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or coachmen at 574-825-5821.
Tires:temporary/emergency spare tire
Problem: On certain motor homes, the spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the rear of the unit is the incorrect model to properly support the spare tire.
Risk: As a result, the potential exists for the spare tire to become detached from the carrier assembly and fall to the road surface. Should the spare tire detach itself from the carrier while the vehicle is in motion, a crash may result.
Fix: Dealers will install the correct spare tire system and also a secondary mechanical back-up latch. The recall began on december 5, 2007. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.

While driving down the interstate the spare tire detached from the carrier assembly and fell to the road service. Also broke electrical plug in connection and chewed up the brand new spare tire, which is no longer usable. Safety chain is the only thing that prevented a rear end accident. *tr
Dometic refrigerator model rm2852 was recalled on april 11, 2008 because of possibly starting a fire. I received a recall letter in the mail on july 31, 2008. Why did it take so long to notify me? I have a disabled son who doesn't know danger, such as fire. I have used my motorhome many times this…
Electrical system failure complete due to faulty engineering and manufacturing process which can cause a fire resulting in possible fatalities on the interstate or in rv parks. *tr
Electrical system shorted out during travel due to faulty plumbing which leaked water to the electrical system shorting it out causing circuit breakers to trip and shutting down the battery disconnect circuitry. This also caused grey water to leak all over the freeway. *tr
