Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Coachmen - Forest river. On certain motorhomes, the driveline operating angle may affect the long term durability of the flexible coupling between the transmission and driveshaft. If the flexible coupling were to crack, it would result in vibration and noise from underneath the vehicle. Continued driving with a cracked flex coupling may cause separation of the driveshaft, resulting in a loss of motive power while driving, or unintended vehicle movement in Park without the parking brake applied. In addition, separation of the driveshaft from the transmission can result in damage to surrounding components, including brake and fuel lines. A loss of motive power may increase the risk of a crash, and unintended vehicle movement may result in property damage and/or injury to bystanders. Correction: As an interim remedy, for vehicles with more than 48,000 kms, dealers will replace the driveshaft flexible coupling every 48,000 kms until the final repair is available. Upon the final remedy being available, dealers will either install a redesigned flexible coupling, modified driveshaft bracket and shield, or revised driveshaft equipped with a universal joint. Note: Cutaway chassis’ with a 156" or 178" wheelbase are not involved in this campaign. Published 2017-07-24.
