Read complaints for WESTERN ALPINE COACH (2005)
I just found out about a safety recall that affects my alpine coach motor home built by wester recreational vehicles of yakima, washington. The recall nbr is 04v372000,wrv csar nbr 1053 and has to do with the vansco multiplex module. I called wrv customer service on monday, 12-18-2006 and was referred to a voice message box to leave a message. My message was real simple. I wanted someone to call me back and tell me if the recall had been accomplished on my coach or not. I took delivery on 6-17-2004 and have yet to hear from anyone concerning this recall that definitely applies to my coach. One would think wrv, inc would be more responsible and responsive when it comes to a safety recall issue. I'm not going to play their usual game of cat and mouse when it comes to the safety of my family.

I was made aware of my problem @ irv2.com forum (caution late alpine owners!!! steering box mount issue) when i looked under my coach i found the same problem with my steering mount as most of the others at the forum. I found small stress cracks and paint flaking from stress on the bracket. Hope something can be done before their are serious problems down the road. Thanks.
We have a 2005 alpine motorcoach, built by western rv, we have a steering box that is flexing and have been told this could lead to a problem. We need to make you aware that there are quite a few alpine coaches that appear to have this same problem. The date below is the date we picked up our new coach from the dealer.

Deflection of weak steering gear bracket. Possible steering failure.
I'm concerned about my steering bracket being to light weight because of other alpines with this problem.my coach is a 2005 and falls within the concerned years.my bracket has not broken, however while turning the tires in a parked position, the bracket does twist and will eventually fatigue.i'm very concern and would like an engineered reinforced additional bracket.i believe this to be a dangerous condition.
