2007–2008 Damon Tuscany & 2008 Damon Astoria + 1 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Damon is recalling 126 my 2007-2008 Tuscany, my 2008 Astoria, and Astoria Pacific motor homes built on freightliner chassis. The fasteners that attach the steering arm or tie rod arms to the spindle may be over or under-tightened.
💥 The risk
Incorrectly torqued steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Damon is working with freightliner to repair these vehicles free of charge(please see 07V-306). The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or damon at 1-937-596-6849.
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.)
