NHTSA recall 08V427000
Steering · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Specific inline power steering filters may become plugged, resulting in hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting. This hose separation would result in loss of steering fluid and loss of power steering assist.
Why it matters: Loss of power steering assist would effectively increase the steering effort required and could lead to loss of vehicle control.
The fix: Newmar is working with daimler trucks and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07V570).
