STRUCTURE
Problem
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOME SHELLS SUPPLIED BY PREVOST CAR, INC., IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A LARGE QUANTITY OF ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND WAS USED IN THE MOUNTING OF 3 RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS. THE BOLTS SECURING THE RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS CAN LOOSEN AND COULD COMPLETELY DETACH.
Risk
A LOOSE ATTACHMENT SHOULD BE DETECTED AT REGULAR INSPECTIONS. THIS CONDITION WILL CREATE SOME UNUSUAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY WILL DETERIORATE GRADUALLY. IF A ROD IS DETACHED COMPLETELY, IT WILL CREATE A LARGE AMOUNT OF NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY WILL BE REDUCED. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy
PREVOST, IN CONJUNCTION WITH COUNTRY COACH, WILL REINSTALL RADIUS ROD SUPPORTS USING LOCTITE PRODUCT ON THE BOLTS. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PREVOST AT 1-418-831-5432 OR COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.
