NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 07V084000.
Defect description
ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE SELF TAPING SCREWS THAT ARE USED TO SECURE THE LIQUID PROPANE (LP) BOTTLE SUPPORT TRAY TO THE TRAILER FRAME MAY FAIL. THE SUPPORT TRAY IS MOUNTED TO THE A-FRAME OF THE TRAILER AND HOLDS THE LP BOTTLES SECURELY IN PLACE.
Safety consequence
SHOULD THESE SCREWS FAIL, THE LP BOTTLES COULD COME LOOSE, DISENGAGE FROM THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF SIGNIFICANT CONTACT WERE TO OCCUR OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, THE LP TANK OR LINES COULD BE DAMAGED AND POTENTIALLY LEAK LP GAS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE LP BOTTLE TRAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.
