2006 Triple E RV Commander recalls 4
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Triple e is recalling 16 motorhomes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag.
- The risk
- The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v-110. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.
- The problem
- Triple e is recalling 75 my 2004-2007 empress commander, embassy, regency and topaz, my 2004-2005, 2007 signature, and my 2005-2007 regency gt recreational vehicles equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
- The risk
- Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
- The fix
- Triple e will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or triple e at 204-325-4361.
- The problem
- Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "Seating systems." Vehicle seats that do not have a seat belt must have a decal on the seating location that states: "this seat not for occupancy while vehicle is in motion." These labels are missing.
- The risk
- In the event of a crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained if using seats which do not have seat belts, increasing the risk of personal injury.
- The fix
- Owners will be provided with corrected labels and installation instructions free of charge. At the customer's option, a dealer can install the label for them. The recall began on december 13, 2005. Owners may contact triple e rv at 204-325-4361.
