Country Coach · Model Report
Showing safety data for the 2002 model year only.
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, THE STRIKER PLATE OF THE STORAGE BAY COMPARTMENT DOOR LATCH IS POSITIONED IN PROXIMITY TO THE RELEASE MECHANISM LOCATED ON THE FACE OF THE SLIDE CARGO TRAY FRAME.
ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES EQUIPPED WITH INTERNATIONAL THERMAL RESEARCH (ITR)HURRICANE HOT WATER HEATERS, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY FEATURES IN SOME OF THE SYSTEMS PROTECTING AGAINST OVERHEATING AND POTENTIAL FIRE SITUATION.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL/ACCELERATOR PEDALS SUPPLIED BY WILLIAMS CONTROLS INDUSTRIES. THE WELD ATTACHING THE CLEVIS TO THE PLATE HAS INSUFFICIENT PENETRATION AND COULD ALLOW THE CLEVIS TO SEPARATE FROM THE PLATE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH CUMMINS ISC AND ISL DIESEL ENGINES. THE INTERNAL FRONT BUSHING CAN SPIN, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR, AND POSSIBLY TO THE SPINDLE DRIVE AT THE REAR FACE OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH IS USED TO PROVIDE POWER TO THE VEHICLE HYDRAULIC PUMP. FAILURE OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR'S SPINDLE DRIVE COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF POWER ASSIST IF THE HYDRAULIC PUMP CEASES TO OPERATE.
DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE LATCHING SYSTEM, THE LEFT TIP OF MY INDEX FINGER WAS SEVERED WHILE CLOSING THE RV BASEMENT STORAGE SLIDE TRAY. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 COUNTRY COACH ALLURE. THE VEHICLE HAS A DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR, MODEL NDR1062. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD HIS DOMETIC REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V031000 (EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL). HE HAD A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE REMEDY OUTLINED IN THE RECALL WAS INSUFFICIENT BECAUSE THE SECONDARY BURNER HOUSING INSTALLED DOES NOT PREVENT A FAILURE; IT JUST CONTAINS THE FIRE, SHOULD ONE START. SECONDLY, THE REPAIR BLOCKS THE SHUT OFF SWITCH FOR THE PROPANE GAS VALVE. HE CALLED DOMETIC AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD OCCUR EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR. DOMETIC WOULD NOT ASSUME LIABILITY IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 07/08/08. *BF UPDATED *JB
No injuries · No fire · No crash
THE DASH HEATER/DEFROSTER SYSTEM WILL NOT PRODUCE HEAT WHILE TRAVELING. WHEN STOPPED, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE HEATER WORKS FINE. THIS MAKES THE COACH UNFIT FOR USE ON COOL OR COLD DAYS. THIS CREATES SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE DEFROSTER CANNOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD WITH ONLY BLOWING COLD AIR. THE COACH HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE LAST TIME FOR SIX WEEKS AND NO PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE TO FIND A SOLUTION. COUNTRY COACH REPORTS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COACH OWNERS REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM. WITHOUT A USABLE HEATER/DEFROSTER SYSTEM THESE COACHS SHOULD BE RULED UNSAFE AND BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.
