Details

What's wrong: On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with axle alliance company (aac) front axles, the fasteners that attach the steering arm or tie rod arms to the spindle may be over or under tightened.

Why it matters: Incorrectly torqued steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.

The fix: Four winds will be working with freightliner to repair these vehicles. Owners can contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or four winds at 1-574-266-1111.
