Defect
Certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis may have been manufactured with tie rods that are too short for the front axle crossbar taper. The resulting gap between the crossbar and tie rod end may result in corrosion between the 2 pieces. Lack of maintenance would increase the possibility of corrosion.
Safety risk
Excessive corrosion over time could cause the crossbar to tie rod connection to fail, causing a lack of steering control and potential crash.
Remedy
Freightliner is conducting this recall. Dealers will inspect the tie rod and replace it if necessary with a longer tie rod assembly. If the tie rod is replaced, a toe-in alignment procedure will also be performed. Owners may contact freightliner at 800-385-4357 or alfa leisure at 800-373-3372.
