2005–2007 Coachmen Cross Country & 2005–2007 Coachmen Sportscoach Elite + 2 more recall: steering

⚠️ What's wrong

Coachmen is recalling 961 my 2005-2007 Cross Country, Sportscoach Elite, my 2005-2006 Cross Country SE, and my 2006 Sportscoach Encore class a motor homes built using inline power steering filters, part no. 14-16829-000. The filter CAN plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This CAN lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.

💥 The risk

Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Coachmen is working with freightliner to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07V570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or coachmen at 1-574-825-5821.

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.)
