What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE TAG AXLE AIR SPRINGS ON THESE MOTOR HOMES ARE RATED FOR LESS WEIGHT THAN THE CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE TAG AXLE.

The risk

THE TIRES, RIMS, OR AXLE, IF OVERLOADED, COULD FAIL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING GOODYEAR AIR SPRING AIR BAGS MOUNTED ON THE TAG RIDE AXLE WITH FIRESTONE AIR SPRING BAGS. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AUGUST 15, 2002. 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 COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.

Notes

ALSO, CUSTOMERS CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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.
