⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor coaches, a weld joining a gusset support from the front bogie leg to the steering box mounting plate CAN crack.
💥 The risk
This CAN allow additional movement of the mounting plate in dry steer applications and at the extreme outward steering positions increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an additional gusset to these assemblies and reweld as required. The recall began on march 23, 2007. Owners may contact motor coach at 1-800-241-2947.
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.)
