Beaver Recalls listing

[Mike Shumack]

Many of you may have seen this website with the recalls on various model Beaver coaches - I just became aware of it so I thought I post here in case anyone else is interested. Hopefully if you have a beaver with one of the recalls, the repair or replacement has already been done.
In my case, there was a recall notice for my '05 Patriot Thunder regarding a safety concern with the AquaHot. The hard part now is figuring out if the original owner had it taken care of.

Mike,
Thanks! I'll post the list on the Technical Board as a "sticky". I'm doing this as I want it to be free of other posts. Members wanting to comment can reply to your original post.

I dunno, but the compiler at Justia miscategorized some... for example, the first recall on the 2006 Monterey list is for a Ford Freestar van and Mercury Monterey automobile seat.

But thanks, the list overall will be useful to have.

I see than now Joel. I only looked at the Patriot model before posting the link.
Did any of the Beaver coaches ever come with a gasoline engine?

Yes, the Santiam was and perhaps some Montereys as recent as the last 20 years I think.  Senior members here can probably provide more specifics.  Into the ‘80s Dodge and Chev powertrains were common, moving toward diesels and larger coaches in the ‘80s and 90s.

Very interesting.
A 33 footer with Tag Axle?! Is that what I'm looking at?
