On certain vehicles, a spacer plate under the trailing arms of the rear suspension has a transverse weld which can eventually cause the trailing arms to crack. This condition can create a rough driving condition and damage the rear suspension system. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the trailing arms and u-bolts.
On certain motorhomes, the brake assemblies exhibit elevated temperatures that can lead to catastrophic deterioration of the wheel end components such as bearings, races, spindles, knuckles, seals, hubs, rotors, patch bolts, calipers, brake pads and ABS sensors. This could result in loss of control, and/or the potential for a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front and rear brake calipers for corrosion and replace or rebuild the calipers as necesary.
On certain motorhomes, the I-beam leaf imitators in the front axle suspension and the panhard bar bracket on the rear axle have the potential to crack and break due to inadequate welding process. If this happens, it could cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealer will replace the front suspension I-beams and weld stiffeners from the panhard bar bracket to the center differential of the rear axle housing.
