The problem
The steering column shaft nut retaining clip may be missing. Under certain conditions, the lack of a retaining clip will allow the nut to work loose and the steering wheel to separate from the steering column.
The risk
Steering wheel separation from the steering column canresult in complete loss of steering control and a vehicle accident.
The fix
Inspect steering assembly for a steering wheel nut retaining clip. If clip is missing, install a steering wheel nut retaining clip, or have a dealer inspect and install a clip. Fleetwood advises owners not to operate the motorhomes until a steering wheel nut inspection and clip installation is completed.
