NHTSA recall 03V081000
Electrical System · Coachmen RV Company, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain class c MINI-motor homes, the generator exhaust pipe may have been assembled and installed incorrectly resulting in insufficient clearance to or contact with the chassis fuel fill tube.
Why it matters: When operating, the generator's exhaust pipe may reach temperatures that could potentially melt and/or ignite the fuel fill tube. Should this occur, the potential exists for a fire.
The fix: Dealers will disassemble a portion of the generator exhaust pipe assembly, turning one of the bent components around 180 degrees, reassembling the exhaust pipe and measuring to ensure a minimum of 3" air gap with surrounding components. Owner notification began March 24, 2003.
