left-hand rear engine mount bracket required replacement and documented a leaking rear main seal and flywheel housing gasket, plus a crankcase breather oil leak dripping onto the driver-side leaf spring - repairs requiring removal of the transmission, flywheel, and flywheel housing. An engine retained by a single fastener is a serious safety defect: it can shift or detach during operation, risking sudden loss of power/control, driveline failure, or fire. Repairs are under Freightliner warranty claim [redacted]. This vehicle is occupied as a full-time residence and driven on public highways. The defect appears to have originated at chassis assembly and may affect other units from the same production run. No crash has occurred, but the failure mode presents an unreasonable risk of crash or injury. Repair documentation and photographs available on request.

veered sharply towards the ditch while on a straight roadway. When I tried to correct the steering it was loose and unresponsive, then suddenly oversteered to the left. This caused the motorhome to rock from side to side and nearly roll over. Thankfully due to 16 years of law enforcement highway patrol experience and driver training I managed to gain control and slow the motorhome. This would have been a serious injury or fatality roll over. The vehicle cannot be safely driven in excess of 50 - 60 mph. A journeyman heavy duty mechanic did a brief inspection and immediately found a rear axle and frame issue. A test drive identified loose steering, inexplainable clunks within the steering mechanism and a strong pull to the right at low and highway speeds.
