All recalls
Suspension: front: springs: air suspension system
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: class a motor home chassis equipped with independent front suspsion, which utilizes a norgren valve and neway pilot air control valves. The purpose of the norgren valve is to exhaust the air suspension when the driver activates the vehicle jacks used to level the vehicle for overnight parking. The neway pilot valve is used to speed up the timing of the air exhaust. When the vehicle is in a dynamic condition, the air system pressure can send spikes of up to 230 psi. This exceeds the pressure rating of the neway pilot valve causing the valve to fail and allow the air system pressure to exhaust uncontrollability.
- Risk
- If there is an air suspension failure, it could lead to vehicle handling problems and a loss of vehicle control.
- Remedy
- Dealers will modify the air plumbing to remove the three (3) neway pilot valves (two front suspension/one rear suspension) from the air system. The norgren valve will be fully utilized to replace the valves in the front suspension and a midland valve will be used in the rear suspension.
Recall number 97V135000 · Recall details
Vehicle speed control
- What is wrong
- The eco-cruise actuator can bind the throttle.
- Risk
- If the actuator binds, engine speed may not decrease to the level anticipated by the operator, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will remove these actuators until new or remanufactured units can be supplied.
Recall number 96V201000 · Recall details
Steering: linkages: drag: link: connection
- What is wrong
- The draglinks have been equipped with an anti-tilt seal on the pitman end that can affect the taper fit of the ball stud taper into the pitman arm. The recommended torque on the stud nut does not overcome the compression of the anti-tilt seal.
- Risk
- This condition can cause a loosening of the joint and ultimate separation resulting in loss of steering.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace washers with 90 degree flanges with washers having a 45 degree flange and sandwich the rubber bushing in the anti-tilt seal. The flanges allow the bushing to properly expand. If a body has been completed on the chassis, the pitman arm will also be replaced.
Recall number 96V081000 · Recall details
Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakers
- What is wrong
- These solenoids can fail to operate or pass current. These solenoids are used to turn the power to the ignition bus bar(s) on the power panel(s) on and off.
- Risk
- Failure of a solenoid will cause the set of controlled devices not to function. Some of these devices are: cruise control, back-up lamp, anti-lock brake electr0nic control unit power; turn signals; heater/ defroster, and/or windshield wipers.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace these defective solenoids with an "automotive controls company" solenoid.
