Recall Corner — December 2006

Damon Corporation has announced NHTSA recall 06V347000, which affects certain 2006 and some early Challenger, Daybreak, and Intruder type A motorhomes built between May 2005 and May 2006. The potential number of coaches involved is 1,592.

On certain motorhomes, some hydraulic lines for the leveling jack system may be improperly secured or routed too close to a drivetrain heat source. This may cause the hydraulic line to melt, which could result in a hydraulic fluid leak that could possibly lead to a fire.

Dealers will inspect and correct any routing or securement issues, and replace any damaged hoses from the heat source. The work is expected to take approximately 15 to 90 minutes. However, because of service scheduling times, the service center may need the vehicle for a longer time period.

For more information about these recalls, contact Damon at (800) 860-3812.

Owner notification began in September 2006.

National RV Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 06V337000, which affects some 2006 and 2007 Dolphin, Dolphin LX, Sea Breeze, Sea Breeze LX, and Surf Side type A motorhomes built between April 1, 2005, and September 30, 2006. The potential number of coaches involved is 1,321.

Certain motorhomes were not equipped with fuel fill ground cables. Without proper grounding, an electrostatic discharge could result during fuel fill-up, potentially leading to a fire.

National RV dealers will install a fuel fill ground cable. The repair is expected to take approximately 12 minutes. However, because of service scheduling times, the service center may need your vehicle for a longer time period.
