NHTSA recall 05V166000
Steering · FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC.
Details
What's wrong: On certain class a motor homes, a pneumatic line can become pinched between the hydraulic filter and a compartment door strut. The chaffing caused by opening and closing of the compartment door can cause the filter to rupture and result in a hydraulic fluid leak.
Why it matters: This loss of hydraulic fluid causes the power steering feature to not function. This can result in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect, replace or repair damaged lines and relocate the affected hydraulic lines free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2005.
