Defect:
Damon is recalling 265 my 2007 intruder (373, 374, 378), my 2007-2009 outlaw (3611), and my 2009 challenger (371, 376, 377, 378) motor homes built on ford chassis for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the metric and english values for the tire air pressures were inadvertently switched. the labels read 90kpa/620psi and should read 620kpa/90psi.
Consequence:
Under or over-inflated tires can cause or contribute to premature tire failure, possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
Correction:
Owners will be sent a revised certification label with the correct tire pressure values along with installation instructions. the recall began on july 14, 2008. owners may contact damon at 1-800-860-3812.
