Suspension
Problem: Four winds is recalling certain my 2008-2009 motor home chassis equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
Risk: If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
Fix: Four winds is working with daimler trucks and saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031 and 08v269). Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, or four winds at 1-800-860-5658.
Steering
Problem: On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with axle alliance company (aac) front axles, the fasteners that attach the steering arm or tie rod arms to the spindle may be over or under tightened.
Risk: Incorrectly torqued steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.
Fix: Four winds will be working with freightliner to repair these vehicles. Owners can contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or four winds at 1-574-266-1111.
