    Fuel System, Gasoline / Storage / Tank Assembly

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Thor motor coach is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 damon challenger, model year 2008-2009 challenger platinum, model year 2007-2011 daybreak, model year 2010 daybreak classic, model year 2009-2010 daybreak sport, model year 2007-2009, outlaw and model year 2011 four winds hurricane, recreational vehicles manufactured from march 2007, through august 2008. The fuel-fill cap assemblies used to seal the unused side of the dual-fill gasoline fuel tank were produced with a hose material that did not meet design specifications. During normal usage the hose material may deteriorate which may result in fuel leaks.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire which may result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

  2. 09V225000Received . 2,415 units.

    Service Brakes, Hydraulic

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Damon is recalling 2,415 motorhomes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v-110. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.

  3. 08V562000Received . 43 units.

    Steering / Gear Box / Shaft Pitman

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Damon is recalling 43 my 2006-2009 daybreak and my 2009 daybreak sport motor homes built on workhorse recreational vehicle chassis. The castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If the drag link were to separate from the pitman arm, the driver would not have directional control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Damon is working with workhorse to replace and properly tighten the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm (please see 08v442). Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-946-7731 or damon at 1-800-860-3812.

  4. 06V451000Received . 1,517 units.

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with GM 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Chevrolet and workhorse are handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (please see 06v225 and 06v289). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, workhorse at 877-294-6773, or damon at 1-574-264-5517.
