Defect SummaryDamon is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 challenger, model year 2005-2007 intruder motor homes. these motor homes do not have the proper clearance between the rear suspension leaf spring and the vehicle liquid propane fuel tank. as the suspension travels it is possible for the leaf spring shackle bolt to come in contact with the tank. this potentially could puncture the tank and result in a fire or explosion.
Consequence SummaryIn the event of a fire or explosion, there is a potential for property damage, personal injury or death.
Corrective SummaryDamon will inspect to see if the proper clearance between the shackle bolt and the tank exists. if it is found there is not enough clearance, the tank will be relocated to provide the proper clearance. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on october 6, 2010. owners may contact damon warranty service department at 877-855-2867.

Defect SummaryDamon is recalling 2,415 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.
Consequence SummaryThe 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.
Corrective SummaryDealers 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.
