2001–2002 Chance Opus 29 recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain coaches equipped with optional webasto heaters, the heater lines in the engine compartment, above the engine exhaust system, are covered with insulation.
💥 The risk
Heat from the exhaust manifold melts the insulation creating smoke or fire in the engine compartment.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove the insulation from these lines. Owner notification began august 19, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chance coach at 1-316-779-7712.
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.)
