- The problem
- Certain motor home chassis equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
- The risk
- The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the steering gear free of charge. Phase one of the recall began on january 30, 2008 for 1,392 vehicles. Expanded mailings are expected to begin on may 16, 2008. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
