Steering:gear box (other than rack and pinion)Feb 6, 2008 · NHTSA campaign 08V060000 · 20 vehicles

Problem: King of the road is recalling 20 my 2005-2007 genesis g40qg, my 2006-2007 g40qh, g40tf, and my 2007 g40qi motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears. These gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculation balls to escape from the recirculation ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.

Risk: The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.

Fix: King of the road is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear (please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or king of the road at 1-308-389-7200.
