Recall 07V260000
Exterior Lighting — Country Coach · reported 7 Jun 2007 · 90 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO CONFORM TO 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 OF THE STANDARD.
The risk
THE INADEQUACY OF THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE MARKER LIGHTS COULD AFFECT VISIBILITY OF THE MOTOR HOME DURING HOURS OF DARKNESS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL PLACE MARKER LIGHTS ON THE SIDE OF EACH MOTOR HOME AS CLOSE AS REASONABLE TO THE FRONT AND REAR CORNERS AND WIRED INTO THE PARK LIGHT SYSTEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.
