Country Coach Inc: Steering
Country Coach Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Jun 7, 2004 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 527. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH AN INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION (IFS) GEN II BUILT BY HOLLAND USA, THE GEAR PLATE SUPPORT GUSSETS WERE REMOVED. THIS CAN ALLOW THE PLATE TO FLEX DURING A STATIC STEER CONDITION.
The risk
THE FLEXING MAY RESULT IN STRESS CRACKING WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The remedy
HOLLAND USA IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. A BOLT-ON STRENGTHENING OF THE STEERING GEAR PLATE WITH U-BOLTS CONNECTING THE CROSS MEMBER TO EACH SIDE OF THE GEAR PLATE AT THE REAR PLUS A TUBE SUPPORT IN THE FRONT WITH J-BOLTS TO THE GEAR PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HOLLAND USA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-888-396-6501 FOR INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE FREE OF CHARGE.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 04V259000.
