NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Damon dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

2005 Damon Escaper recalls, newest first

October 9, 2008NHTSA 08V5340004,677 vehicles potentially affected

Equipment › Recreational vehicle/trailer

Summary: Damon is recalling 4,677 my 2004-2006 challenger, daybreak, intruder, my 2004-2005 escaper, ultrasport, and my 2005 astoria and astoria waldorf motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Consequence: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Remedy: Damon will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 08E032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle Inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or damon at

January 11, 2008NHTSA 08V01700073 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Gear box (other than rack and pinion)

Summary: On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears, these gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
Consequence: The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Damon is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear (please see 07V343 and 07E049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or damon at 937-596-6849.

January 30, 2007NHTSA 07V0220002,618 vehicles potentially affected

Exterior lighting

Summary: Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps reflective devices, and associated equipment." these motor homes were built without the red rear reflex reflectors and some motor homes were built without the side rear red reflex reflectors.
Consequence: During night driving conditions or while the motor home is parked, the rear and side marker lights will not provide any reflex reflection to mark the vehicle's location in the dark increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Damon will provide the owners with a kit containing the missing reflectors and instructions for applying them to their vehicle. Owners may choose to have their dealers do the repair free of charge. The recall began on July 9, 2007. Owners may contact damon at 1-800-860-3812.
