NHTSA recall 16V385000
Steering · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the steering box may have been manufactured with an incorrect spacer with insufficient height that can cause too much play, causing the connection to wear between the steering wheel and the front axle.
Why it matters: The steering wheel's connection to the front axle could fail resulting in a sudden loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Daimler trucks of north america will notify owners, and freightliner dealers will inspect and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 31, 2016.
