⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with trw 20-EDL ball-socket assemblies. Certain of the ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which CAN lead to premature wear out of the socket. These bearings were produced between july 5 and october 3, 1999.
💥 The risk
If this condition occurs, the driver CAN lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the ball-socket assemblies.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
