- Summary
- Vehicle description: 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 were assigned an inadequate gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Therefore, the tires and rims installed do not comply with the standard, causing premature front tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving.
- Consequence
- This could lead to a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove and replace the tires and rims on these vehicles. In addition, the front coil springs will be removed and replaced with larger coil springs and a taper rear leaf spring added to each side.

Has your Country Coach been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Country Coach dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
