Recall 07V-539: 2008 Coachmen Freedom Express 31, 2008 Coachmen Freelander 3130 and 1 more
COACHMEN RV COMPANY, LLC recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Nov 21, 2007, covering about 395 vehicles.
The problem
On certain class c mini-motor homes, the 12 volt slideroom wire connection to the chassis ignition system may be wired incorrectly causing the brake on the slideroom motor to disengage when the ignition is in the 'on' or 'run' position. This could cause the slideroom to 'relax' and possibly move to the out position while in transit if the travel locks provided with the vehicle are not installed as recommended.
The risk
Should the slideroom extend while the vehicle is in motion, a crash could occur.
The fix
Dealers will properly wire the slideroom motor brake activation system free of charge. The recall began on december 20, 2007. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.
