2003–2005 Haulmark Motor Coach recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain recreational vehicles, the rear spring hanger brackets may not have been installed in accordance with haulmark's specifications during the modification process. This condition could cause the spring hanger fasteners to lose torque and fail.
💥 The risk
Should the spring hanger fasteners fail, the axle may disconnect from the frame, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and, potentially, a crash.
🔧 The fix
An authorized freightliner dealer will inspect and replace the spring hanger fasteners. The recall is expected to begin during october 2005. Owners may contact haulmark at 866-760-8195 to locate the closest freightliner dealer to make arrangements to have their vehicle inspected.
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.)
