2007 Country Coach Affinity

Component

Equipment:Recreational Vehicle

Consequence of Defect

on certain motor homes, existing fasteners used to secure the satellite dome to the motor home roof do not penetrate the roof sufficiently to prevent the dome from coming off while the vehicle is in transit.

Corrective Action

the satellite dome could separate from the roof while driving increasing the safety hazard to traffic.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the existing fastener with a jack nut and longer bolts free of charge. the recall began on september 18, 2006. owners may contact country coach at 1-800-452-8015.

2006 Country Coach Affinity

Component

Equipment:Other:Labels

Consequence of Defect

certain motor homes fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.' the federal tire labels incorrectly state the cold tire inflation pressure for the toyo 12r22.5 rear tires.

Corrective Action

this noncompliance could lead to premature tire wear and potential y a tire failure if the tires are inflated to the maximum inflation pressure. such a tire failure could result in the loss of steering control and could result in a crash.

Recall Notes

owners will be provided with new federal tire labels which reflect the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the rear tires. the recall began on may 8, 2006. owners may contact country coach at 1-800-452-8015.
