Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Carrying an NHTSA advisoryCampaigns where NHTSA told owners not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outside, until the repair is done.

Open investigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Recall campaigns

6 campaigns cover this model year — what the defect is, what it could cause, and what the remedy is

07V225000

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Jun 5, 2007
605 units potentially affected
The defect: CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THESE MOTOR HOMES WERE EQUIPPED WITH MORE THAN THREE AMBER IDENTIFICATION LAMPS LOCATED AT THE TOP AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS IN THE COMBINATION HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM PHOTOMETRIC VALUE AT 45 DEGREES AS SPECIFIED IN THE STANDARD.
The risk: THE FIVE IDENTIFICATION LIGHTS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE CONFUSION TO ON-COMING MOTORISTS WHO ARE USED TO OBSERVING THREE IDENTIFICATION LIGHTS. THE 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 CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE TWO EXTRA IDENTIFICATION LAMPS AND INSTALL FOUR SIDE MARKER LIGHTS, ONE AT EACH CORNER, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MARCH 31, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 800-547-8015.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

Jun 14, 2005
9 units potentially affected
The defect: CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.' THE FRONT AND REAR TIRE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES OF 125 PSI EXCEED THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM COLD INFLATION PRESSURE OF 120 PSI.
The risk: THIS COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO PREMATURE RIM FAILURE. SUCH A RIM FAILURE COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The remedy: COUNTRY COACH WILL ISSUE REPLACEMENT FEDERAL TIRE LABELS REFLECTING THE CORRECTED COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE OF 120 PSI FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES. THIS CHANGE WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF THE COLD INFLATION TIRE PRESSURE OF EACH FRONT AND REAR TIRE BY 5 PSI. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.

EQUIPMENT

May 9, 2005
282 units potentially affected
The defect: 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.
The risk: THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST TUBE EXITING FROM THE HEATER CAN INCREASE AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE.
The 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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Sep 21, 2004
380 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, A CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE CLEARANCE LIGHT CIRCUIT DOES NOT PROTECT THE CIRCUIT FROM A TOO HIGH AMPERAGE DRAW CAUSED BY A TOWED PASSENGER VEHICLE.
The risk: THE CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN OVERHEAT THE WIRE AND INSULATION TO A POINT WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 8, 2004. CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-541-998-3720.

STEERING

Jun 7, 2004
527 units potentially affected
The defect: ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH AN INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION (IFS) GEN II BUILT BY HOLLAND USA, THE GEAR PLATE SUPPORT GUSSETS WERE REMOVED. THIS CAN ALLOW THE PLATE TO FLEX DURING A STATIC STEER CONDITION.
The risk: THE FLEXING MAY RESULT IN STRESS CRACKING WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy: HOLLAND USA IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. A BOLT-ON STRENGTHENING OF THE STEERING GEAR PLATE WITH U-BOLTS CONNECTING THE CROSS MEMBER TO EACH SIDE OF THE GEAR PLATE AT THE REAR PLUS A TUBE SUPPORT IN THE FRONT WITH J-BOLTS TO THE GEAR PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HOLLAND USA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-888-396-6501 FOR INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE FREE OF CHARGE.

STEERING

May 28, 2004
610 units potentially affected
The defect: HOLLAND INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSIONS P/N 90547917 IFS-114 WITH THE 90547978 SUBFRAME FOR USE ON CERTAIN COUNTRY COACH VEHICLES AND SHIPPED BETWEEN MARCH 5, 2003, AND JUNE 28, 2004. EARLY IFS-114 UNITS WITH P/N 90546687 USED A DIFFERENT SUBFRAME, P/N 90546691 THAT IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. THE NEW SUBFRAME DID NOT HAVE GUSSETS THAT HELP SUPPORT THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING PLATE. THE LACK OF GUSSETS ALLOWS EXCESSIVE FLEXING OF THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING PLATE WHICH MAY LEAD TO FATIGUE CRACKS.
The risk: IF A CRACK WERE TO DEVELOP AND PROPAGATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING PLATE WERE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SUSPENSION SUBFRAME, THEN STEERING CAN BECOME LOOSE WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
The remedy: HOLLAND WILL NOTIFY COUNTRY COACH'S CUSTOMERS AND PROVIDE REMEDY FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 28, 2004. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HOLLAND USA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-888-396-6501.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
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.
