  1. Fuses and circuit breakers (electrical system)

    NHTSA 79V159000 Reported 70 vehicles potentially affected COACHMEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

    The electrical package option may have been wired incorrectly or a circuit breaker omitted. Consequently, if a short occurs in the electrical line, the wire could overheat and lead to a fire.

    Remedy: Owners will be provided with circuit breakers and are instructed to take them to the dealer for free installation. Any necessary repairs to the electrical package option will be done without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1979

  2. Tank assembly (equipment)

    NHTSA 79V160000 Reported 573 vehicles potentially affected COACHMEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

    The nuts and lockwashers used to secure the lp gas tank may not have been securely tightened due to the use of incorrect lockwashers. If the nuts loosen and fall from the bolts, the l.p. Gas tank could separate completely from the vehicle and become damaged, allowing the lp gas to escape.

    Remedy: All loose nuts will be tightened and any incorrect lockwashers will be replaced. Dealer will also add flat washers and locking type nuts to all units.

    Model years: 1979

  3. Tank assembly (equipment)

    NHTSA 77V001000 Reported 2,066 vehicles potentially affected COACHMEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

    On the involved vehicles, the threaded studs which secure the l.p. Tank mounting system could fail. Consequently, the l.p. Tank may drop to ground.

    Remedy: The dealer, from whom the vehicle was purchased, will install two metal straps under the l.p. Tank, securing them with bolts through the vehicle floor. This will be done without charge.

    Model years: 1976
