2006 Damon Intruder recalls
Recall 10V-407: Equipment
Problem: Damon is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 challenger, model year 2005-2007 intruder motor homes. These motor homes do not have the proper clearance between the rear suspension leaf spring and the vehicle liquid propane fuel tank. As the suspension travels it is possible for the leaf spring shackle bolt to come in contact with the tank. This potentially could puncture the tank and result in a fire or explosion.
Risk: In the event of a fire or explosion, there is a potential for property damage, personal injury or death.
Fix: Damon will inspect to see if the proper clearance between the shackle bolt and the tank exists. If it is found there is not enough clearance, the tank will be relocated to provide the proper clearance. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on october 6, 2010. Owners may contact damon warranty service department at 877-855-2867.
Recall 09V-225: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
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 08V-534: Equipment
Problem: Damon is recalling 4,677 my 2004-2006 challenger, daybreak, intruder, my 2004-2005 escaper, ultrasport, and my 2005 astoria and astoria waldorf motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator 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 08e032). 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 the owner 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
Recall 06V-451: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
Risk: In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
Fix: Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (Please see 06v225 and 06v289). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, workhorse at 877-294-6773, or damon at 1-574-264-5517.
Recall 06V-347: Equipment
Problem: On certain class a motor homes, some hydraulic lines for the leveling jack system may be improperly secured or routed too close to a drive train heat source.
Risk: This may cause melting of the hydraulic line resulting in leakage of hydraulic fluid, which could cause a fire.
Fix: Damon will inspect and secure the clearance of the hydraulic leveling hose that may be too close to heat sources. The recall began on september 25, 2006. Owners may contact damon at 1-800-860-3812.
Recall 06V-236: Steering
Problem: Certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis may have been equipped with incorrect steering intermediate shafts. The spline can strip while the steering wheel is being turned.
Risk: This steering condition could result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Workhorse is conducting this recall (Please see 06v148000) and will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6773 or damon at 574-264-2900.
