COUNTRY COACH HAS REPORTED THAT THE TOYO 275/70R M102Z TIRES ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES ARE DEFECTIVE AND COULD FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY.
Consequence & remedy

CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.' THESE MOTOR HOMES WERE INADVERTENTLY ASSIGNED INADEQUATE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES GIVING THE TIRES A LOWER WEIGHT CARRYING CAPACITY THAN THE FRONT AND REAR AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND POTENTIALLY A TIRE FAILURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES AND ISSUE A NEW FEDERAL TIRE LABEL REFLECTING THE CORRECTED COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 7, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-547-8015.
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE MOTOR HOMES WERE ERRONEOUSLY ASSIGNED INADEQUATE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES AND INADEQUATE AXLE WEIGHT RATINGS ON THE FRONT AND/OR REAR AXLES AS A RESULT OF MATHEMATICAL MISCALCULATIONS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE PREMATURE TIRE TREAD WEAR OR TIRE FAILURE DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THE PREMATURE TIRE TREAD WEAR OR TIRE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
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. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AUGUST 28, 2002. 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.
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN INEQUITABLE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT TIRES ON THE FRONT AXLE. THIS WEIGHT INEQUITY CAN CAUSE THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WEIGHT RATING TO BE EXCEEDED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE PREMATURE FRONT TIRE TREAD WEAR OR TIRE FAILURE DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THE PREMATURE TIRE TREAD WEAR OR TIRE FAILURE COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEIGHT CONTROL VALVES AND THE HEIGHT CONTROL VALVE CONFIGURATION REVERSED TO REMEDY THIS NONCOMPLIANCE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 14, 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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES. THESE MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSIGNED AN INADEQUATE FRONT AXLE WEIGHT RATING (FAWR). AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE FRONT BRAKE CANISTERS AND SLACK ADJUSTERS DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING BRAKING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SLIDE GALLEY OPTION. THE CERTIFICATION LABELS DO NOT SHOW THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURES. THESE PRESSURES ARE BELOW THE REQUIRED PRESSURE FOR LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: UNDER-INFLATION OF THE TIRES CAN RESULT IN TREAD SEPARATION.
Remedy: NEW LABELS WITH THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO OWNERS. OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO ADJUST THE TIRE PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS TO THE NEW CORRECT REQUIREMENTS.

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.
