Country Coach Allure — 07V225000
Summary
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THESE MOTOR HOMES WERE EQUIPPED WITH MORE THAN THREE AMBER IDENTIFICATION LAMPS LOCATED AT THE TOP AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS IN THE COMBINATION HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM PHOTOMETRIC VALUE AT 45 DEGREES AS SPECIFIED IN THE STANDARD.
Consequence
THE FIVE IDENTIFICATION LIGHTS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE CONFUSION TO ON-COMING MOTORISTS WHO ARE USED TO OBSERVING THREE IDENTIFICATION LIGHTS. THE INADEQUACY OF THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE MARKER LIGHTS COULD AFFECT VISIBILITY OF THE MOTOR HOME DURING HOURS OF DARKNESS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE TWO EXTRA IDENTIFICATION LAMPS AND INSTALL FOUR SIDE MARKER LIGHTS, ONE AT EACH CORNER, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MARCH 31, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 800-547-8015.
