Risk: The inadequacy of the front and rear side marker lights could affect visibility of the motor home during hours of darkness that could potentially result in a motor vehicle crash.

Reported Jun 7, 2004 · 527 vehicles affected · COUNTRY COACH INC

Problem: On certain motor homes equipped with an independent front suspension (Ifs) gen II built by holland USA, the gear plate support gussets were removed. This can allow the plate to flex during a static steer condition.

Risk: The flexing may result in stress cracking which could potentially cause a loss of vehicle steering control which could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Holland USA is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. A bolt-on strengthening of the steering gear plate with u-bolts connecting the cross member to each side of the gear plate at the rear plus a tube support in the front with j-bolts to the gear plate will be installed.

Risk: This could cause premature tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving. The premature tire tread wear or tire failure could lead to a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
