2006 Coachmen Aurora recalls
Recall 09V-193: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Coachmen is recalling 2,555 my 2000-2009 georgie boy and coachmen recreational trailers equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. The driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver.
Risk: The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign please see 09v-110. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731 or coachmen at 1-574-266-4030, option 5.

Fix: Coachmen is working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e032).

Recall 07V-483: Tires
Problem: On certain motor homes, the spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the rear of the unit is the incorrect model to properly support the spare tire.
Risk: As a result, the potential exists for the spare tire to become detached from the carrier assembly and fall to the road surface. Should the spare tire detach itself from the carrier while the vehicle is in motion, a crash may result.
Fix: Dealers will install the correct spare tire system and also a secondary mechanical back-up latch. The recall began on december 5, 2007. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.
