NHTSA recall 16V397000
Steering · Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with certain zf rl77 / 80em independent front steering axles equipped with bosch 8018 steering boxes. The boxes were manufactured using incorrect internal spacers that can cause premature wear in the connection 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: Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the steering box if necessary, free of charge. Owners are urged not to drive their vehicles until they have been inspected. The recall began on August 17, 2016.
