23V729000Driver AssistanceOctober 30, 2023 · 73 units

Defect

Chinook Motor Coach, LLC. (Chinook) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Bayside motorhomes. The rearview camera, or 360-degree view camera if equipped, may not display a rearview image when the vehicle is placed in reverse.

Consequence

Loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Ford dealers will replace the rearview camera, and update the software and wiring as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notifications explaining the safety risk were mailed November 22, 2023. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated 2nd Quarter 2024. Owners may contact Chinook customer service at 1-574-584-3756.

Defect

Chinook Motor Coach, LLC (Chinook) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Bayside motorhomes, equipped with certain Cummins Onan QG 2800i, and Onan QG 2800i EVAP generator sets. The fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and the Injection Pump Module (IPM) may have inadequate clamp force, possibly resulting in a gasoline leak.

Consequence

A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy

Cummins dealers will inspect and replace the fuel hose and clamps, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 11, 2023. Owners may contact Chinook customer service at 1-574-584-3756.
