2007 COUNTRY COACH ALLURE Recalls (3)
- Campaign:
- 07V225000 on 06/04/2007
- Component:
- Exterior lighting
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/2006 - 06/29/2007
- Affected:
- 605
- Defect:
- Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." these motor homes were equipped with more than three amber identification lamps located at the top and front of the vehicle. also, the side marker lights in the combination headlight and tail light assemblies do not meet the minimum photometric value at 45 degrees as specified in the standard.
- Consequence:
- The five identification lights could possibly cause confusion to on-coming motorists who are used to observing three identification lights. the inadequacy of the front and rear side marker lights could affect visibility of the motor home during hours of darkness that could potentially result in a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will remove the two extra identification lamps and install four side marker lights, one at each corner, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin on or about march 31, 2008. owners may contact country coach at 800-547-8015.

- Component:
- Engine and engine cooling:engine:diesel
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/2006 - 07/30/2006

- Defect:
- 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:
- If allowed to progress, this can lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, oil and debris on the roadway and vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Country coach 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 800-343-7357 or country coach at 1-541-998-3720.
