08V193000Received 28 Apr 2008. 961 units.
Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist System
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Coachmen is recalling 961 my 2005-2007 cross country, sportscoach elite, my 2005-2006 cross country se, and my 2006 sportscoach encore class a motor homes built using inline power steering filters, part no. 14-16829-000. The filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Coachmen is working with freightliner to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07v570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or coachmen at 1-574-825-5821.

08V019000Received 15 Jan 2008. 116 units.
Steering / Gear Box / Shaft Pitman
Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain class a motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears, these gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Coachmen is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear (please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.

Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine / Diesel
Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain motor homes built with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rod contains a machining defect in the wrist pin bushing of the rod that could cause a seizure of the piston pin.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If allowed to progress, this can lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, spilling oil and debris onto the roadway increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Coachmen is working with cummins to recalibrate the engine control module and enhance the engine protection system enabling it to provide early detection of the failure mode and avoid more serious engine damage and resultant safety hazard. Cummins will also install a new valve cover with a crankcase pressure sensor free of charge (please see 07e033). Owners may contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or coachmen at 1-574-825-8528.
