Steering: hydraulic power assist system

What is wrong
Coachmen is recalling 961 my 2005-2007 cross country, sportscoach elite, my 2005-2006 cross country se, and my 2006 sportscoach encore class a motor homes 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.

Coachmen is working with freightliner to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07v570). Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712 or coachmen at 1‑574‑825‑5821.
