Details

What's wrong: The engine control module may not actuate the egr valve sufficiently to prevent soot accumulation, resulting in improper valve operation or sticking.

Why it matters: Improper valve operation may cause excessive exhaust emissions, illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp and a vehicle limp-in condition increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Coachmen is working with Chrysler to remedy this campaign and will reprogram the vehicle's engine control module free of charge. The safety recall began on January 8, 2010.
