Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes equipped with spartan steering columns, the steering column has an incorrect bushing that does not properly limit the travel of the steering column.

Why it matters: The reduced engagement of the column tubing may limit the driver's capability to control the steering increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the bushing to increase the length of the engagement between the steering column tubes free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.
