COUNTRY COACH IS RECALLING 1,228 MY 2004-2008 MAGNA, AFFINITY AND INTRIGUE MOTOR HOMES. THESE MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS IN THE COMBINATION HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM PHOTOMETRIC VALUES SPECIFIED IN FMVSS NO. 108.

RiskINADEQUACY 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 MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH.

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES, EXISTING FASTENERS USED TO SECURE THE SATELLITE DOME TO THE MOTOR HOME ROOF DO NOT PENETRATE THE ROOF SUFFICIENTLY TO PREVENT THE DOME FROM COMING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN TRANSIT.

RiskTHE SATELLITE DOME COULD SEPARATE FROM THE ROOF WHILE DRIVING INCREASING THE SAFETY HAZARD TO TRAFFIC.

FixDEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING FASTENER WITH A JACK NUT AND LONGER BOLTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.

RiskTHIS NONCOMPLIANCE COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND POTENTIALLY A TIRE FAILURE IF THE TIRES ARE INFLATED TO THE MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE. SUCH A TIRE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

FixOWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW FEDERAL TIRE LABELS WHICH REFLECT THE CORRECT COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE FOR THE REAR TIRES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 8, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.
