2004 Coachmen Mirada & 2003 Coachmen Rendezvous recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain motor homes. The frame extrusion at the base of the kitchen slide room, that serves to maintain the locking mechanism for the slide room, may become loose from the body of the vehicle. When this occurs, the locking mechanism is rendered ineffective and the slide room CAN open unexpectedly.

💥 The risk

Should this occur while the vehicle is in motion, the potential exists for a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install longer self-tapping screws to ensure the extrusion is secured to the steel framing. In addition, "travel locks" that, while in place, prevent the slide room from moving out under any circumstances will be supplied with all units. Owner notification began on april 28, 2003. 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 at 1-219-825-5821.

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.)
