2007 Sportscoach Elite & 2007 Sportscoach Legend recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes, the battery cables that exit the rear of the battery storage compartment are not adequately secured. Should the cables become unsecured, they could come in direct contact with the engine exhaust system.
💥 The risk
In the event that the cables come in contact with the exhaust system, the cable protective covering could eventually melt causing a direct short in the 12-VOLT electrical system, which could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will use a tube clamp to secure the excess length of wire to a steel truss member above and out of the way of the exhaust and will also add a heat shield. The recall began on april 10, 2006. Owners may contact coachmen 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.)
