COUNTRY COACH INC recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on Sep 21, 2007, covering about 49 vehicles.
The problem

The risk
The warning may be experienced by erratic performance and excessive smoke. Both of these conditions may result in a situation where a vehicle crash could occur.
