What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH SLIDE-OUT GENERATORS, CERTAIN GENERATOR SLIDE-OUT BALL SCREW ACTUATOR BRAKE HOLDING COMPONENTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE BRAKE MAY NOT ALLOW THE ACTUATOR TO HOLD THE LOAD IN POSITION WITH THE POWER OFF. THE AMOUNT THE LOAD MAY MOVE CAN VARY AND IN SOME CASES THE ACTUATOR MAY NOT HOLD AT ALL. THESE ACTUATORS ARE USED TO CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF THE SLIDE-OUT GENERATOR MOUNTED IN THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR HOMES.
What can happen
THE FAILURE OF THE ACTUATOR TO HOLD THE GENERATOR IN POSITION COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH AND/OR INJURY TO A PEDESTRIAN.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ACTUATOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 19, 2002. 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 COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.

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.
