Steering: gear box (other than rack and pinion)
- What is wrong
- On certain motor homes built on prevost chassis, the steering gear box is mounted on a support located under the driver's seat floor. On motor home models, this support varies in height with the optional interior height. With 83 and 86 inch height options, the support may be overloaded in certain operation conditions.
- Risk
- A continuously fully loaded vehicle that has to maneuver in tight space frequently can develop stress cracks at the steering gear box support. A loss of control could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will add a reinforcement to the steering support. Prevost is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owner notification began october 5, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact prevost at 1‑418‑831‑5432.
