Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with freightliner chassis. The aac front axle steering arm bolts with a latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over- tightened.

Why it matters: Over-tightened steering arm bolts may fatigue and fracture increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Tiffin is working with freightliner to have the steering arm tie rod fasteners inspected and replaced. The steering arm will be inspected for clearance to the king pin boss. Freightliner is handling the remedy for this campaign.
