FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION DRIVEN POWER TAKE OFF (PTO) AND HYDRAULIC PUMP WHICH RUNS THE COOLING FAN. THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE PTO AND PUMP INDICATED THE PTO SHAFT SPLINES FAILED DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION AND CAUSED THE HYDRAULIC PUMP FAILURE. IN TALKING TO THE MECHANICS AT COUNTRY COACH I LEARNED THAT OTHER 05 INTRIGUES HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT SOMETIMES OCCURS A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE COOLING FAN TO STOP WHICH RESULTED IN THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND A UNSCHEDULED ROADSIDE STOP. ADDITIONAL OPERATION WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHICH, IF IT OCCURRED IN A BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATION, COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR
COUNTRY COACH IS RECALLING 1,228 MY 2004-2008 MAGNA, AFFINITY AND INTRIGUE MOTOR HOMES. THESE MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS IN THE COMBINATION HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM PHOTOMETRIC VALUES SPECIFIED IN FMVSS NO. 108.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MARKER LIGHTS ON THE SIDE OF EACH MOTOR HOME AS CLOSE AS REASONABLE TO THE FRONT AND REAR CORNERS AND WIRED INTO THE PARK LIGHT SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 17, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE HYDRAULIC SLIDE ROOM HOSES COULD BLISTER AND LEAK DUE TO ENGINE HEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID COULD CAUSE THE SLIDE ROOM TO UNEXPECTEDLY EXTEND WHILE IN -TRANSIT. THIS CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RELOCATE THE HYDRAULIC HOSES OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND REPLACE ANY HOSES THAT EXHIBIT SIGNS OF BLISTERING OR LEAKAGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.
ON CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SYSTEMS' AQUA-HOT AND HYDRO-HOT WATER HEATERS, WHICH USE WEBASTO BURNER TUBES, THE BURNER TUBES DO NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST TUBE EXITING FROM THE HEATER CAN INCREASE AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: VEHICLE SYSTEMS IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VEHICLE SYSTEMS AT 1-800-685-4298 OR COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.
