Re: vehicle safety defect owner notification, 05v‑373. Affects various country coach motor homes. The subject safety defect lists several models of country coaches. Mine is not included in the list, however the same defect has appeared in my motor home, I.e. Large blisters appearing on the hydraulic hoses for the hwh slide room. This could result in the loss of hydraulic fluid, which could cause the slide room to unexpectedly extend while in-transit. This can result in a vehicle crash. (this description is taken directly from the recall notice) the list of affected models for this recall should be revised, as it is apparent that my coach has the same problem. My coach is a 2004 intrigue, [xxx]. I believe it was built in january, 2004. This problem was discovered while the coach was undergoing routing service. Country coach has not responded to my request for help in fixing the problem.*jb updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
