- Improper valve operation may cause excessive exhaust emissions, illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp and a vehicle limp-in condition increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Coachmen is working with chrysler to remedy this campaign and will reprogram the vehicle's engine control module free of charge. The safety recall began on january 8, 2010. Owners may contact coachmen at 800-453-6064 and chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
