The problem
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER ASSEMBLY MOUNTED UNDER THE REAR OF THE UNIT IS THE INCORRECT MODEL TO PROPERLY SUPPORT THE SPARE TIRE.
Risk
AS A RESULT, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE SPARE TIRE TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE CARRIER ASSEMBLY AND FALL TO THE ROAD SURFACE. SHOULD THE SPARE TIRE DETACH ITSELF FROM THE CARRIER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, A CRASH MAY RESULT.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE CORRECT SPARE TIRE SYSTEM AND ALSO A SECONDARY MECHANICAL BACK-UP LATCH. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.
