2009–2010 Coachmen Freelander & 2009–2010 Coachmen Prism recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Coachmen is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Prism and Freelander recreational vehicles built on 2008 sprinter chassis. The engine control module may not actuate the egr valve sufficiently to prevent soot accumulation, resulting in improper valve operation or sticking.
💥 The risk
Improper valve operation may cause excessive exhaust emissions, illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp and a vehicle limp-in condition increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Coachmen is working with chrysler to remedy this campaign and will reprogram the vehicle's engine control module free of charge. The safety recall began on january 8, 2010. Owners may contact coachmen at 800-453-6064 and chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
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.)
