Posted on: 2006-05-11
Description
On certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with a decorative dash trim kit, the adhesive backed synthetic trim is attached to the dash, engine cover, door panel and the chevrolet bow tie decal is attached to the steering wheel (directly over the existing bow tie impression). This decal could affect the deployment of the air bag safety restraint built into the steering wheel.
Consequence
In the event of a vehicle crash in which the driver side air bag is deployed, the resulting functionality of the air bag is uncertain, which can increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Corrective Action
Owners will be instructed to remove the steering wheel decal. The recall began on may 30, 2006. Owners may contact home and park at 1-800-663-0066.
