AS A RESULT, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE SPARE TIRE TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE CARRIER ASSEMBLY AND FALL TO THE ROAD SURFACE. SHOULD THE SPARE TIRE DETACH ITSELF FROM THE CARRIER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, A CRASH MAY RESULT.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE CORRECT SPARE TIRE SYSTEM AND ALSO A SECONDARY MECHANICAL BACK-UP LATCH. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COACHMEN AT 1-800-453-6064.
