Summary: Coachmen is recalling 2 my 2009 prism class c motor homes built on Chrysler my 2007 Dodge or freightliner sprinter chassis equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor may have been manufactured incorrectly. The engine could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor. This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.
Consequence: This could cause the vehicle's engine to stall or not start under certain conditions increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Coachmen is working with Chrysler to replace the crankshaft sensors free of charge (please see 07V594). The two vehicles involved are still in coachmen's possession and will be remedied prior to being shipped to dealers.

Has your Coachmen 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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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