Steering: hydraulic power assist systemReported December 10, 2007 · 10,053 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain motor home chassis built using inline power steering filters, part no. 14-16829-000, the filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Risk
Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the affected filters with a larger filter. The recall began on july 2, 2008. Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
