2012 Coachmen Encounter & 2012 Coachmen Mirada recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Coachmen rv is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Mirada and Encounter recreational vehicles built on a ford F-53 chassis, manufactured from february 1, 2010, through february 17, 2012. The gear shifter’s cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the gear display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.

💥 The risk

An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Coachmen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the gear shifter’s cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 2, 2012. Owners may contact coachmen rv 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.)
