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 control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and freightliner dealers will inspect and replace the steering box if necessary, free of charge.
