2003 Country Coach Lexa recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes, the exhaust pipe connection to the inlet and outlet side of the muffler may come apart.
💥 The risk
Should either of the clamps come apart the super-heated exhaust being expelled in the engine compartment could cause a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the existing band type clamps attaching the muffler to the exhaust pipe and secure the muffler to the tail pipe with guillotine type clamps free of charge. The recall began on may 8, 2006. Owners may contact country coach at 800-547-8015.
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.)
