NHTSA recall 17V059000
Steering · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Berkshire and Charleston recreational vehicles built on freightliner custom chassis corporation (fccc) rv chassis. In these vehicles, the power steering hose may be improperly routed causing inadequate clearance between the hose and power stud. As a result, the hose can rub the power stud causing arcing and a power steering fluid leak.
Why it matters: Arcing in the presence of power steering fluid leak under high pressure could increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and fccc dealers will reroute the power steering hose for proper clearance, free of charge. The recall began on March 22, 2017.
