Problem: On certain motorhomes, the chassis leaf spring rear shackle and/or shackle bolt could come in direct contact with the LP tank when the vehicle is in motion.

Risk: This could cause the LP tank to become damaged and potentially leak increasing the risk of a fire.

Fix: Dealers will move the mounting location of the tank out of the chassis rails, away from the chassis leaf spring rear shackle. Owner notification began on april 12, 2004. Owners should contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.

Recall 03V-134: Equipment

Reported Apr 9, 2003 · 79 vehicles affected · COACHMEN RV COMPANY

Problem: On certain motor homes. The frame extrusion at the base of the kitchen slide room, that serves to maintain the locking mechanism for the slide room, may become loose from the body of the vehicle. When this occurs, the locking mechanism is rendered ineffective and the slide room can open unexpectedly.

Risk: Should this occur while the vehicle is in motion, the potential exists for a crash.

Fix: Dealers will install longer self-tapping screws to ensure the extrusion is secured to the steel framing. In addition, "travel locks" that, while in place, prevent the slide room from moving out under any circumstances will be supplied with all units. Owner notification began on april 28, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact coachmen at 1-219-825-5821.
