Recall 07V-022: 2006–2007 Damon Astoria, 2006–2007 Damon Challenger and 5 more
DAMON CORPORATION recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Jan 30, 2007, covering about 2,618 vehicles.
The problem
Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps reflective devices, and associated equipment." these motor homes were built without the red rear reflex reflectors and some motor homes were built without the side rear red reflex reflectors.
The risk
During night driving conditions or while the motor home is parked, the rear and side marker lights will not provide any reflex reflection to mark the vehicle's location in the dark increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Damon will provide the owners with a kit containing the missing reflectors and instructions for applying them to their vehicle. Owners may choose to have their dealers do the repair free of charge. The recall began on july 9, 2007. Owners may contact damon at 1-800-860-3812.
