COUNTRY COACH INC recall 05V-253 covers 17 2006 Country Coach Prevost Conversion for a structure problem, reported to NHTSA on June 2, 2005.
Source: NHTSA recall 05V253000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOME SHELLS SUPPLIED BY PREVOST CAR, INC., IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A LARGE QUANTITY OF ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND WAS USED IN THE MOUNTING OF 3 RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS. THE BOLTS SECURING THE RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS CAN LOOSEN AND COULD COMPLETELY DETACH.
The risk
A LOOSE ATTACHMENT SHOULD BE DETECTED AT REGULAR INSPECTIONS. THIS CONDITION WILL CREATE SOME UNUSUAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY WILL DETERIORATE GRADUALLY. IF A ROD IS DETACHED COMPLETELY, IT WILL CREATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY WILL BE REDUCED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
PREVOST, IN CONJUNCTION WITH COUNTRY COACH, WILL REINSTALL RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS USING LOCTITE PRODUCT ON THE BOLTS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PREVOST AT 1-418-831-5432 OR COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION?S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236.
