The defect
Certain motor homes fail to comply with requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." these vehicles have an inequitable weight distribution between the front left and right tires on the front axle. this weight inequity can cause the left front tire weight rating to be exceeded.
The risk
This could cause premature front tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving. the premature tire tread wear or tire failure could lead to a loss of steering control.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the height control valves and the height control valve configuration reversed to remedy this noncompliance. owner notification began may 14, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact country coach at 1-800-452-8015.
