VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL GENERAL TIRES. CERTAIN TIRES, WHEN INSTALLED ON THESE MOTOR HOMES, CAN EXPERIENCE PREMATURE TIRE DETERIORATION.
Safety risk
THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE TIRE TO DEFLATE AND PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN RESULT.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONTINENTAL GENERAL TIRE, WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH NEW TIRES AND NEW VALVE STEMS. THE FRONT TIRES AND SPARE TIRE WILL BE THE SAME SIZE AS THE EXISTING TIRES. THE REAR TIRES WILL BE SIZE 215/70R15C AND HAVE A HIGHER LOAD RATING.
THE SEAT BELT "D" RING SUPPORT BRACKET FOR THE TWO COMPANION SEATS (SEATS BEHIND THE DRIVER/FRONT PASSENGER SEATS) WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED.
Safety risk
IN ITS PRESENT LOCATION, THE SUPPORT BRACKET IS NOT ATTACHED TO A STRUCTURAL MEMBER AND CAN SEPARATE FROM ITS MOUNTING DURING AN ACCIDENT INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REMOVE AND REPLACE THE SEAT BELT "D" RING SUPPORT BRACKET IN THE CORRECT LOCATION.
