2002 Coachmen Cascade 26RBS & 2002 Coachmen Cascade 32RLS + 1 more recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: travel trailers. The safety chains do not have an adequate load range to prevent failure in the event the trailer is loaded to the maximum gross vehicle weight rating.
💥 The risk
This could result in the safety chains failing in the event of a separation of the trailer from the tow vehicle hitch which in turn would lead to a loss of control of the travel trailer.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install the correct load range safety chains. Owner notification began july 18, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact coachmen rv at 1-800-453-6064.
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.)
