2009 Coachmen Prism
Component: Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:diesel
Manufactured by: Coachmen Rv Company, Llc
Affected Units:: 2
Coachmen is recalling 2 my 2009 prism class c motor homes built on Chrysler my 2007 Dodge or freightliner sprinter chassis equipped with 3. 0l diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor may have been manufactured incorrectly. The engine could fail due to separation of bond wires from the lead frame in the sensor. This results in an interruption in the electrical connection in the chip housing of the sensor.
Coachmen is working with Chrysler to replace the crankshaft sensors free of charge (please see 07v594). The two vehicles involved are still in coachmen's possession and will be remedied prior to being shipped to dealers.
