Recalls for 2009 Country Coach Inspire

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION

Posted on: 2008-05-08
Description
Country coach is recalling 26 my 2008-2009 inspire and my 2008 tribute motor homes equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions.  In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.  

Consequence
If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash.  In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.  

Corrective Action
Country coach is working with saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed.  If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031).  The recall began on may 20, 2008.  Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271 or country coach at 1-800-547-8015.
