Equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer
Problem: Damon is recalling 4,677 my 2004-2006 challenger, daybreak, intruder, my 2004-2005 escaper, ultrasport, and my 2005 astoria and astoria waldorf motor homes 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: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Fix: Damon will be 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 damon at
Steering:hydraulic power assist system
Problem: Damon is recalling 738 my 2005-2007 astoria, tuscany, my 2005 astoria waldorf, and my 2006-2007 astoria pacific motor homes built on freightliner xc chassis. The chassis contains steering filters that can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure potentially leading to a hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Risk: Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Freightliner is conducting this recall and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07v570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or damon at 1-800-860-3812.
Suspension
Problem: Some (pacific/waldorf edition) motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.. 120 "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." under certain loading conditions, the front gross axle weight rating (gawr) could be exceeded.
Risk: Under certain loading conditions, the front axle could become overloaded increasing the risk of crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace both front tires with a greater load carrying capacity, which will increase the front gross axle weight rating. The recall began august 29, 2005. Owners may contact damon at 800-860-6362.
