NHTSA recall 03V369000
Suspension · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorhomes equipped with tuthill independent front suspensions, the defect is insufficient tightening torque of the steering knuckle carrier bolt that may result in separation of the steering knuckle from one of the control arms.
Why it matters: Should the steering knuckle carrier separate from the control arm, the operator could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
The fix: Tuthill will notify its customers and provide a retrofit kit p/n k704627 free of charge.
