2007 Four Winds Magellan recalls

Recall 09V-204: Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Reported Jun 10, 2009 · 684 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

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 07V-305: Equipment

Reported Jul 18, 2007 · 72 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

Problem: On certain motor homes, the flexible gas line supplying propane to the appliances in the kitchen slide-out room may be improperly routed or supported.

Risk: Continued operation of the LP system may result in a gas leak that could result in fire or explosion resulting in serious injury or death.

Fix: Owners will be instructed not to use the LP system until they can take their motor homes into the dealers for repair. The LP gas system piping will be reconfigured to eliminate the potential for binding or kinking. The recall began on august 2, 2007. Owners may contact four winds at 1-574-266-1111.

Recall 06V-256: Steering

Reported Jul 12, 2006 · 70 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

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.

Upon purchase on 2/17/2007, the dash light dimmer switch would not dim the dash lights. The dash lights were modified by the motor home manufacturer and therefore they are responsible, this according to workhorse the chassis manufacturer. I filed this defect in a letter to the business I purchased the motor home from and also the manufacturer on february 21, 2007. I have taken the motor home in twice to fix this defect and neither time was the problem resolved.
