2006 Four Winds Hurricane recalls
Recall 09V-204: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Four winds is recalling 684 my 2002-2006 infinity, my 2002-2007 windesport, my 2004-2008 hurricane, my 2006-2007 megallan and my 2008 fun mover motor homes 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. Workhorse will conduct the owner and dealer notification. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.
Recall 06V-351: 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 thor industries at 937-596-6849.
Recall 06V-256: Steering
Problem: Certain 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 06v148). They will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6773 or four winds at 1-937-492-1271.
Recall 05V-465: Trailer Hitches
Problem: On certain class a and class b motor homes, the hitch may have been manufactured with a spacer plate that does not fit flush to the rear extension.
Risk: This causes the fasteners to be corner loaded when tightened which could cause the hitch to fail during usage causing a crash which could result in death and injury.
Fix: Dealers will install a new spacer plate and add six new bolts, washers and nuts to secure the spacer plate in place. The recall began on november 11, 2005. Owners may contact four winds at 574-266-1111.
