2005 Coachmen Cross Country & 2005 Coachmen Sportscoach Elite + 1 more recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain rear diesel motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. The copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.
💥 The risk
When the torque is relaxed, the lugs CAN become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Coachmen will be working with intellitec to notify owners and have the repair performed on their vehicles. The recall began on july 14, 2005. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-574-825-1174.
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.)
