2012 COACHMEN ENCOUNTER; 2012 COACHMEN MIRADA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Coachmen RV Company is recalling certain 2011-2012 Mirada and Encounter recreational vehicles built on a Ford F-53 chassis and manufactured between February 1, 2010, and February 17, 2012. The gear shifter's cable may break where it connects to the transmission control selector arm assembly on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator on the instrument panel will remain stuck in the first gear position regardless of which gear is actually selected, preventing the driver from knowing whether they are in Park or Reverse and increasing the risk of a crash.
Coachmen will notify owners at no cost, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the gear shifter's cable assembly. The recall began on March 2, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Coachmen RV at 1-800-453-6064.
