Recall 02V-229: 1996–1999 Country Coach Allure, 1995–2000 Country Coach Intrigue and 1 more
COUNTRY COACH INC recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Aug 22, 2002, covering about 550 vehicles.
The problem
Certain 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." these motor homes were erroneously assigned inadequate cold tire inflation pressures and inadequate axle weight ratings on the front and/or rear axles as a result of mathematical miscalculations.
The risk
This could cause premature tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving. The premature tire tread wear or tire failure could lead to a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front and/or rear tires. In some instances, the motor homes may only have an inadequate fawr and/or rawr stated on the federal tire label and only the federal tire label will be replaced. Owner notification is expected to begin august 28, 2002. 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 country coach at 1-800-452-8015.
