Recall 03V-040: 2002–2003 Coachmen Aurora, 2002 Coachmen Mirada and 1 more
COACHMEN RV COMPANY recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Feb 10, 2003, covering about 3,539 vehicles.
The problem
Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.
The risk
In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.
The fix
Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. Owner notification began march 24, 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.

Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
