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.

Suspension:rear:springs:leaf spring assembly:shackleApr 5, 2004 · NHTSA campaign 04V160000 · 120 vehicles

Problem: On certain motorhomes, the chassis leaf spring rear shackle and/or shackle bolt could come in direct contact with the lp tank when the vehicle is in motion.

Risk: This could cause the lp tank to become damaged and potentially leak increasing the risk of a fire.

Fix: Dealers will move the mounting location of the tank out of the chassis rails, away from the chassis leaf spring rear shackle. Owner notification began on april 12, 2004. Owners should contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.

Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailerApr 9, 2003 · NHTSA campaign 03V134000 · 79 vehicles

Problem: On certain motor homes. The frame extrusion at the base of the kitchen slide room, that serves to maintain the locking mechanism for the slide room, may become loose from the body of the vehicle. When this occurs, the locking mechanism is rendered ineffective and the slide room can open unexpectedly.

Risk: Should this occur while the vehicle is in motion, the potential exists for a crash.

Fix: Dealers will install longer self-tapping screws to ensure the extrusion is secured to the steel framing. In addition, "travel locks" that, while in place, prevent the slide room from moving out under any circumstances will be supplied with all units. Owner notification began on april 28, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact coachmen at 1-219-825-5821.
