- The problem
- Motorhomes equipped with drag link assemblies containing 20-edl model ball sockets and manufactured by trw. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.
- The risk
- If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the defective drag links. Owner/distributor notification began april 18, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mci at 1-800-241-2941 or trw customer service at 1-866-280-3287.
