What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
