Country Coach recall

January 09, 2004, 06:27:05 pm

Hi, I'm a new member with this group and in the process of picking up a 99 Intrigue from a private seller. I called the factory to check on this coach and inquired about any recalls especially any that involved the left front tire and was advised that there was a recall #01V-170 Ride Height control valve and my coach hadn't had it done.
This is to warn any ownerrs of used 96/2000 coaches to check and see if this has been handled on your coach. There is a post on RV-America about a 96 CC that just had a blow out on the left front that had a factory recall on this

Hello Jim,

I am relatively new to this group and have found the archive search mechanism to be invaluable. Do a search on tires or toyo tires or even just 275/80 to see what others have gone through regarding tires.

If your tires are 5 years or older you should consider replacing them. If you do, based upon my research of the archives and talking to Country Coach after the search of the archives, looks like 275/80s are a better choice than the 275/70s that were used for the 99 coaches. According to country coach you can replace just the fronts with 275/80s if your rear 275/70s are relatively new and you dont want to replace all 6 tires... Check with Country Coach to confirm that 275/80s can be used on the front, dont take just my word for it.
They are less definitive about using them on the rear but there are owners on this group who have done that without problems.
If your tire "Federal Tire Label" near the drivers seat says 95 psi, contact Country Coach and they will send you a new tire pressure sticker listing 125 psi as the cold inflation pressure. Contact Country Coach for a complete explanation. Also tell them you are the new owner too. They will need the coach serial number.

Happy Trails....
