NHTSA recall 07V577000
Steering · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Certain motor home chassis equipped with zf model 8018 steering 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.
Why it matters: 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.
The fix: Winnebago is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear free of charge.
