Recall 02V232000 · manufacturer campaign SB-107
Visibility › Defroster/defogger/hvac System — Chance · reported 19 Sep 2002 · 27 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN COACHES EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL WEBASTO HEATERS, THE HEATER LINES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, ABOVE THE ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM, ARE COVERED WITH INSULATION.
The risk
HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD MELTS THE INSULATION CREATING SMOKE OR FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE INSULATION FROM THESE LINES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 19, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHANCE COACH AT 1-316-779-7712.
ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
