2004–2007 Marathon Xlvii & 2004–2006 Marathon H3-45 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes built on prevost chassis and equipped with webasto heaters, the burner tubes are made of material that does not meet specifications and could fail prematurely.
💥 The risk
Should the burner tube fail, the coolant heater could overheat, possibly resulting in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the affected combustion chambers. The recall began on may 4, 2006. Owners should contact marathon coach at 541-343-9991.
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.)
