The defect
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.' THE FRONT AND REAR TIRE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES OF 125 PSI EXCEED THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM COLD INFLATION PRESSURE OF 120 PSI.
The risk
THIS COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO PREMATURE RIM FAILURE. SUCH A RIM FAILURE COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The remedy
COUNTRY COACH WILL ISSUE REPLACEMENT FEDERAL TIRE LABELS REFLECTING THE CORRECTED COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE OF 120 PSI FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES. THIS CHANGE WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF THE COLD INFLATION TIRE PRESSURE OF EACH FRONT AND REAR TIRE BY 5 PSI. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.
