The inside of our 2021 Coachmen Encore 325 SS Motorhome gets hot around the “doghouse” area on the floor. We have used a heat sensor and it registers a temperature on the floor and around the “doghouse” at 159 degrees F. Have photo of 158.3 degrees F. We have had it in for service and it has been verified as being too hot, but I don’t know if the service verified the temperature. It is too hot to walk on barefoot and the 2 dogs we have stay away from the area. The unit has not been inspected by the manufacturer, etc. No warning lamps, etc, and first appeared when first used.
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

STEERING; SUSPENSION
According to the notice from Ford 22S62: In some of the affected vehicles, the rear stabilizer bar attachment bracket(s) weld-nuts may not be capable of supporting the required joint torque for this application and may have been damaged during the assembly process. During vehicle usage, the weld nuts attaching the rear stabilizer bracket may loosen, and the attachment bracket may break and/or the attachment bolts and the bracket may separate from the vehicle. It is possible that this may result in a road debris hazard.
POWER TRAIN
The rear axle may contain an inadequate volume of lubricating oil. An inadequate volume of rear axle lubricant may result in rear wheel bearing damage potentially leading to bearing seizure. Bearing seizure may lead to rear axle or driveshaft failure. A rear axle or driveshaft failure may result in loss of vehicle motive power, loss of transmission park function, and loss of parking brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
