2006 Coachmen Aurora recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes, the spare tire carrier assembly mounted under the rear of the unit is the incorrect model to properly support the spare tire.
💥 The risk
As a result, the potential exists for the spare tire to become detached from the carrier assembly and fall to the road surface. Should the spare tire detach itself from the carrier while the vehicle is in motion, a crash may result.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install the correct spare tire system and also a secondary mechanical back-up LATCH. The recall began on december 5, 2007. 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.)
