Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with i-shafts supplied by zf heavy duty steering, the steering shaft assemblies with lower yokes may have been incorrectly machined. The steering shaft splines could push through the lower yoke, allowing the steering wheel to turn without any response.

Why it matters: If this occurs ,the vehicle could suffer loss of steering control which could result in a crash.

The fix: Freightliner is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Freightliner will inspect and attach a tension collar to the steering shaft to secure the connection to the yoke free of charge.
