2002 Damon Intruder recalls

Recall 09V-225: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jun 16, 2009 · 2,415 vehicles affected · DAMON CORPORATION

Problem: Damon is recalling 2,415 motorhomes 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.

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 and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v-110. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.

Recall 07V-130: Equipment

Reported Mar 20, 2007 · 25,128 vehicles affected · DAMON CORPORATION

Problem: Certain travel trailers and motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (Gas flame) is present.

Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.

Fix: Damon will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or damon at 1-800-860-3812.

Recall 03V-080: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Mar 5, 2003 · 2,656 vehicles affected · DAMON CORPORATION

Problem: Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.

Risk: In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.

Fix: Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. Owner notification is began may 12, 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 damon at 1-219-272-9212.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 23,500 miles · reported Jul 26, 2017

I purchased this rv in dec 2016 I have been on a couple small trips then went on a 1000 mile trip and found that a sway bar bolt was missing and the propane tank was rubbing on the rear leaf springs. The space between the propane tank and leaf springs is to close. I have taken a photo of the issue. I have looked for a recall but I think because of the age it has dropped off. There are more vehicles out there that are like mine and I would be afraid if something would happen to someone else.I AM a retired firefighter and have been on a propane tank explosion envolving an rv. And it's not a good…

Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 45,223 miles · reported May 5, 2011

I had a safety recall # 50401c done on 05/09/2006 to replace all 4 calipers because they might hang up and cause brake overheating and maybe a accident. At that time there was no damage and no worn of cracked parts. I was asked to return again for recall # 51101c to again replace all 4 calipers to the latest style for the same reason. This time 3 of the 4 calipers on the motorhome were deemed not usable because of cracks but the work horse corp. Won't pay for new rotors. I think this damage is their problem and not mine. Please advise.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 20,000 miles · reported Mar 30, 2010

The contact owns a 2002 damon intruder rv. While driving approximately 25 MPH, there was an unusual smell emitting form the braking system. The vehicle began dragging and was hesitant to accelerate. The vehicle was moved off of the road. Once the vehicle cooled off for several minutes, it began operating normally. The contact was advised that there was a recall on the braking system; however, the remedy was not available (Nhtsa campaign id number 09v225000- service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle had not been repaired because the recall remedy was unavailable. The failure mileage was 20,000…

Structure · reported Nov 18, 2003

Left top corner windshield seal failed, and was leaking a lot of water. (2002 damon intruder 369) the windshield came out at the top left hand corner and caused water to enter the rv. The dealer indicated that they didn't think it would stay in place because of structural conditions that caused the seal not to hold.

Power Train · reported Jan 2, 2003

Consumer had difficulty checking transmission fluid. The dealer had attempted to repair the vehicle 3 times unsuccessfully. There was a rattle noise, the bathroom was out of line, the door /exit door didn't stay closed, the tank leaked, the windshield wiper was inoperative, and the antenna was inoperative. Scc
