2001 Coachmen Catalina recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: travel trailers equipped with drop axles and 13" wheels. Incorrect axle and wheel assemblies were installed. The unloaded vehicle weight may exceed the carrying capacity of the tires.
💥 The risk
This could cause premature tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving, leading to a loss of steering control.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the axle assemblies and wheels.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
