Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT AND/OR REAR TIRES. IN SOME INSTANCES, THE MOTOR HOMES MAY ONLY HAVE AN INADEQUATE FAWR AND/OR RAWR STATED ON THE FEDERAL TIRE LABEL AND ONLY THE FEDERAL TIRE LABEL WILL BE REPLACED.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FRONT BRAKE CANISTERS AND REPLACE THEM IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 15, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.
THE "O" RINGS OF THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY IN THE ONAN EMERALD AND MARQUIS BRAND GENERATOR SETS CAN WEAKEN AND BREAK WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.

Remedy: OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY ONAN. DEALERS WILL EITHER REMOVE THE LPG REGULATOR AND REPLACE IT WITH A MODEL NOT SUBJECT TO RUPTURE, OR INSTALL A PRE-REGULATOR IN THE FUEL SYSTEM.

ON JUNE 30, 2006, COUNTRY COACH FILED DEFECT REPORT 06V-262 STATING THAT THE TOYO 275/70R22.5M102Z TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND COULD FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.ODI'S INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT FRONT TIRE FAILURES HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY COUNTRY COACH'S SELECTION OF TIRES THAT PROVIDED MARGINAL LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY FOR THEIR INTENDED APPLICATION.OWNERS WERE FREQUENTLY UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH COUNTRY COACH'S CAMPAIGN REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE THESE REQUIREMENTS WERE INEFFECTIVELY COMMUNCIATED AND BECAUSE SPECIFIED TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES WERE DIFFICULT FOR OWNERS TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN. ODI ALSO FOUND THAT THE RUBBER PROPERTIES OF THE TOYO 275/70R22.5 M102Z DEGRADE WITH TIME. THE DEGRADATION IN RUBBER PROPERTIES DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY OBVIOUS INDICATIONS TO THE VEHICLE OWNER AND THE TIRES BECOME MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FAILURE OVER TIME WHEN SUBJECTED TO THEVEHICLE OPERATING CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
