Safety data across 21 model years.
COUNTRY COACH IS RECALLING 238 MY 2006-2008 AFFINITY AND MAGNA MOTOR HOMES. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST CAN OCCUR IN THESE MOTOR HOMES.
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.
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH A TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATOR, MANUFACTURED BY THE DOMETIC CORPORATION, MAY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE BOILER TUBE. PRESSURIZED COOLANT SOLUTION COULD BE RELEASED INTO AN AREA WHERE AN IGNITION SOURCE (GAS FLAME) IS PRESENT.
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.
COUNTRY COACH HAS REPORTED THAT THE TOYO 275/70R M102Z TIRES ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES ARE DEFECTIVE AND COULD FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY.
I AM A MACHINIST IN A REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS A MOTORHOME. SITS ON A DYNOMAX FRAME WITH A 625 HP ENGINE AND WEIGHS 47,000 LBS. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCED R/H DRIVE AXLE BEAM ASSEMBLY BETWEEN REAR AXLE AND AIR SUSPENSION BAGS TO BODY BUST IN HALF, ALSO THREW THE DRIVELINE. HE WAS ENTERING A FREEWAY AT UNDER 20 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE IMMEDIATE EXTREME LEAN TO THE DRIVERS SIDE HAD THEM SUSPECT THE DRIVESHAFT TOOK OUT AN AIRBAG. INITIALLY BROUGHT TO ANOTHER SHOP TO REPLACE THE DRIVELINE WHEN THE REAL CULPRIT WAS DISCOVERED. BROUGHT TO OUR SHOP FOR MAJOR REPAIR. I EXTRACTED THE BROKEN LOWER BEAM ASSEMBLY, THE NEW PART HAD TO BE MADE WITH A 4 WEEK LEAD TIME. DURING THIS STAGE I DISCOVERED THE OTHER SIDE WAS NEARLY READY TO BREAK AS WELL. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THE REPAIR, AND UPGRADES PERFORMED TO THIS CONDITION AND HAVE SEVERAL MORE PHOTOS AND TECHNICAL UNDERSTANDING ON THIS THAN WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS INITIAL COMPLAINT. THESE ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. FACT IS, THIS IS A SERIOUS UNDER DESIGN THAT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC IF THIS OCCURS AT HIWAY SPEED FOR MORE THAN JUST THE OCCUPANTS. SIMPLY REPLACING THE BROKEN PART WAS NOT A REASONABLE SOLUTION ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING THE OTHER SIDE DOING THE SAME THING. THE OTHER SIDE WAS REPAIRED, AND ADDED REINFORCEMENTS WERE INSTALLED TO BOTH THE REPAIRED SIDE AND THE NEW BEAM SIDE. THIS MOTORHOME HAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000 MILES ON IT AT 10 YEARS OLD. FAILURE IS DUE TO THE LOWER BEAM DESIGN CARRYING BOTH COACH WEIGHT AND ENGINE TORQUE THROUGH A SMALL AREA THAT FLEXES UNDER ENGINE TORQUE OVER THE TOP OF THE AXLE ONLY. THE REAR OF THE BEAM ATTACHES TO THE TORQUE BARS FROM THE CHASSIS, WHEN THE AXLE IS POWERED TO DRIVE THE WHEELS PUTS AND ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TWIST INTO AN UNDERSIZED AREA ON THIS BEAM WITHOUT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. ALL MOTORHOMES WITH THIS CONFIGURATION NEED INSPECTED AND POSSIBLY REINFORCED SIMILAR TO WHAT I DID HERE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 COUNTRY COACH MAGNA RV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS POWERING OFF A HYDRAULIC PUMP, WHICH IS DRIVEN THROUGH A POWER TAKEOFF CASE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH. THE SPLINES FROM THE PUMP TO THE POWER TAKEOFF WERE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT THE SPLINES SHEARED. AS A RESULT, THE PUMP NO LONGER TURNED OR PRODUCED ANY FLUID PRESSURE, CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO BECOME INOPERABLE. HE WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT USING A LOT OF STRENGTH DUE TO THIS FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. INSTEAD, IT WAS TAKEN TO A BUS REPAIR FACILITY AND WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE HAS NOT RECURRED; HOWEVER, HE BELIEVES THAT IT WAS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 117,000. UPDATED 07/17/09 *BF ON JULY 6TH, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE RV FOR AN INSPECTION OF THE PTO AND SPLINE LINES AND FOUND SPLINE WEAR AT 20%.
