Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly
Problem: Thor motor coach is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 damon challenger, model year 2008-2009 challenger platinum, model year 2007-2011 daybreak, model year 2010 daybreak classic, model year 2009-2010 daybreak sport, model year 2007-2009, outlaw and model year 2011 four winds hurricane, recreational vehicles manufactured from march 2007, through august 2008. The fuel-fill cap assemblies used to seal the unused side of the dual-fill gasoline fuel tank were produced with a hose material that did not meet design specifications. During normal usage the hose material may deteriorate which may result in fuel leaks.
Risk: A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire which may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Fix: Navistar/workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see navistar/workhorse's defect report 10v-348. Navistar/workhorse will replace the original fuel-fill cap assemblies with ones assembled with hose material that meets design specifications. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact navistar at 1-260-461-1890.
Equipment:other:labels
Problem: Damon is recalling 265 my 2007 intruder (373, 374, 378), my 2007-2009 outlaw (3611), and my 2009 challenger (371, 376, 377, 378) motor homes built on ford chassis for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the metric and english values for the tire air pressures were inadvertently switched. The labels read 90kpa/620psi and should read 620kpa/90psi.
Risk: Under or over-inflated tires can cause or contribute to premature tire failure, possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
Fix: Owners will be sent a revised certification label with the correct tire pressure values along with installation instructions. The recall began on july 14, 2008. Owners may contact damon at 1-800-860-3812.
Engine and engine cooling
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: Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (please see 06v225 and 06v289). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, workhorse at 877-294-6773, or damon at 1-574-264-5517.
Steering
Problem: Certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis may have been equipped with incorrect steering intermediate shafts. The spline can strip while the steering wheel is being turned.
Risk: This steering condition could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Workhorse is conducting this recall (please see 06v148000) and will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6773 or damon at 574-264-2900.
