Steering › Linkages › Tie Rod Assembly06V338000

Filed Sep 8, 2006311 vehiclesAlfa Leisure,inc.

Defect. CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH TIE RODS THAT ARE TOO SHORT FOR THE FRONT AXLE CROSSBAR TAPER. THE RESULTING GAP BETWEEN THE CROSSBAR AND TIE ROD END MAY RESULT IN CORROSION BETWEEN THE 2 PIECES. LACK OF MAINTENANCE WOULD INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF CORROSION.

Risk. EXCESSIVE CORROSION OVER TIME COULD CAUSE THE CROSSBAR TO TIE ROD CONNECTION TO FAIL, CAUSING A LACK OF STEERING CONTROL AND POTENTIAL CRASH.

Remedy. FREIGHTLINER IS CONDUCTING THIS RECALL. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TIE ROD AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY WITH A LONGER TIE ROD ASSEMBLY. IF THE TIE ROD IS REPLACED, A TOE-IN ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE WILL ALSO BE PERFORMED. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FREIGHTLINER AT 800-385-4357 OR ALFA LEISURE AT 800-373-3372.

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS ON MY ALFA MOTOR HOME HAVE FOGGED UP AND ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHICH I LOOK THROUGH TO SEE MY DRIVERS MIRROR. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT INVOLVING THIS BUT MY COACH IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND THE COMPANY SI-GI TELLS ME THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD NOT BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
