- Campaign:
- 03V041000 on 02/12/2003
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake warning
- Manufactured:
- 05/12/1999 - 10/21/2002
- Affected:
- 2,736
- Defect:
- Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by the standard.
- Consequence:
- In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the system warning indicator.
- Correction:
- Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. owner notification began march 13, 2003. 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 georgie boy at 1-800-521-8733.

- Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
- Campaign:
- 03V374000 on 10/21/2003
- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Manufactured:
- 11/27/2001 - 07/25/2002
- Affected:
- 664
- Defect:
- On certain motor homes equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units were produced with a defective panel. an electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. this may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.
- Consequence:
- An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. this could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.
- Correction:
- Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. in the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. if the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. 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 samsung at 800-932-3837 or coachmen at 1-877-876-9024.

- Campaign:
- 08V271000 on 06/18/2008
- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Manufactured:
- 02/28/1999 - 05/30/2001
- Affected:
- 4,231
- Defect:
- Coachmen is recalling 4,231 my 1999-2002 georgie boy cruise master, landau and pursuit, my 1999-2000 cruise air, my 1999-2001 maverick and my 2000-2002 georgie boy suite motor homes equipped with norcold refrigerators. a fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak.
- Consequence:
- Extended operation of a leaking cooling unit could lead to a fire from gas which might escape.
- Correction:
- Coachmen is working with norcold to repair these refrigerators. norcold will provide thermal switch kits to owners along with the necessary forms and instructions. the recall is expected to begin during june 2008. owners may contact norcold at 1-800-767-9101 or coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.

- Campaign:
- 09V193000 on 05/31/2009
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:fluid
- Manufactured:
- 07/31/2000 - 05/30/2008
- Affected:
- 2,555
- Defect:
- Coachmen is recalling 2,555 my 2000-2009 georgie boy and coachmen recreational trailers 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. the driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver.
- Consequence:
- 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.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign please see 09v-110. the manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731 or coachmen at 1-574-266-4030, option 5.

- Campaign:
- 09V289000 on 07/22/2009
- Component:
- Equipment
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/2001 - 04/29/2003
- Affected:
- 932
- Defect:
- Coachmen is recalling 932 model year (my) 1999-2003 georgie boy cruise master, my 2000-2002 maverick and pursuit, my 2000 & 2002 cruise air and my 2001-2002 suite motorhomes equipped with norcold model 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from march 1, 2001 to december 31, 2002, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. a fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. if a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. at such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
- Consequence:
- If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
- Correction:
- Coachmen is working with norcold and norcold will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge (please see 09e-027). owners may contact norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
