Recall 05V-294: 2005 Coachmen Cross Country, 2005 Coachmen Sportscoach Elite and 1 more
COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Jun 21, 2005, covering about 135 vehicles.
The problem
On certain rear diesel motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. The copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.
The risk
When the torque is relaxed, the lugs can become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.
The fix
Coachmen will be working with intellitec to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. The recall began on july 14, 2005. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-1174.
