What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES. THE FRAME EXTRUSION AT THE BASE OF THE KITCHEN SLIDE ROOM, THAT SERVES TO MAINTAIN THE LOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE SLIDE ROOM, MAY BECOME LOOSE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS RENDERED INEFFECTIVE AND THE SLIDE ROOM CAN OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY.
What can happen
SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL LONGER SELF-TAPPING SCREWS TO ENSURE THE EXTRUSION IS SECURED TO THE STEEL FRAMING. IN ADDITION, "TRAVEL LOCKS" THAT, WHILE IN PLACE, PREVENT THE SLIDE ROOM FROM MOVING OUT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH ALL UNITS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 28, 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 COACHMEN AT 1-219-825-5821.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
