NHTSA recall 08V578000
Steering · MONACO COACH CORPORATION
Details
What's wrong: The castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection.
Why it matters: If the drag link were to separate from the pitman arm, the driver would not have directional control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash.
The fix: Monaco is working with workhorse to replace and properly tighten the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm (please see 08V442).
