Recall 05V-253: 2006 Country Coach Prevost Conversion

The problem

On certain motor home shells supplied by prevost car, inc., it was determined that a large quantity of anti-seize compound was used in the mounting of 3 radius rod supports. The bolts securing the radius rod supports can loosen and could completely detach.

The risk

If a rod is detached completely, it will create a large amount of noise and the vehicle stability will be reduced. This could result in a crash.

The fix

Prevost, in conjunction with country coach, will reinstall radius rod supports using loctite product on the bolts. Owners may contact prevost at 1-418-831-5432 or country coach at 1-800-452-8015.
