What NHTSA recorded

On certain class c mini-motor homes, the generator exhaust pipe may have been assembled and installed incorrectly resulting in insufficient clearance to or contact with the chassis fuel fill tube.

Possible consequence

When operating, the generator's exhaust pipe may reach temperatures that could potentially melt and/or ignite the fuel fill tube. Should this occur, the potential exists for a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will disassemble a portion of the generator exhaust pipe assembly, turning one of the bent components around 180 degrees, reassembling the exhaust pipe and measuring to ensure a minimum of 3" air gap with surrounding components. Owner notification began march 24, 2003. 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 coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.
