NHTSA recall 08V223000
Steering · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The chassis contains steering filters that can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure potentially leading to a hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Why it matters: Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Freightliner is conducting this recall and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07V570).
