2005–2006 Damon Astoria recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Some (pacific/waldorf edition) motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.. 120 "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." under certain loading conditions, the front gross axle weight rating (gawr) could be exceeded.
💥 The risk
Under certain loading conditions, the front axle could become overloaded increasing the risk of crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace both front tires with a greater load carrying capacity, which will increase the front gross axle weight rating. The recall began august 29, 2005. Owners may contact damon at 800-860-6362.
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.)
