The problem
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.
The risk
The satellite dome could separate from the roof while driving increasing the safety hazard to traffic.
The fix
Dealers 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.
