Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH DANA IFS SUSPENSIONS. ONE OF THE FOUR STUDS USED TO ATTACH THE SPINDLE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION WISHBONES HAS BROKEN.
Risk. IF TWO STUDS BREAK, THE SPINDLE IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE A-FRAME AND THE SUSPENSION COULD THEN COLLAPSE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL STUDS AND NUTS, USING LONGER STUDS.
Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH DANA STEERING RELAY LEVERS. THE LEVERS CAN DEVELOP SURFACE CRACKING.
Risk. THIS CRACKING CONDITION COULD CAUSE A PORTION OF THE STEERING LEVER TO BREAK OFF, POSSIBLY CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING RELAY LEVERS.
Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH DANA SUSPENSIONS. A MACHINING OPERATION WAS OMITTED FROM THE SUSPENSION PIVOT ARM.
Risk. THE DOWNWARD SUSPENSION TRAVEL WILL BE RESTRICTED AND AN INTERFERENCE CAN OCCUR BETWEEN THE PIVOT ARM AND THE UPPER WISHBONE. IF LEFT UNATTENDED, IT CAN RESULT IN DEFORMATION AND CRACKING OF THE UPPER WISHBONE CASTING.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE UPPER WISHBONES THAT HAVE ANY SIGNS OF METAL TO METAL CONTACT AND ALL PIVOT ARMS WILL NEED TO BE MODIFIED WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOW SIGNS OF METAL CONTACT.
Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH AQUA-HOT HEATING SYSTEMS, MODEL 431-3 ZONE WITH ENGINE LOOP. FIBERGLASS INSULATING MATERIAL LOCATED UNDER THE BURNER HEAD ON THE FLOOR OF THE HEATER ENCLOSURE, CAN BECOME SOAKED WITH FLUIDS (ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND/OR DIESEL FUEL).

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.
