Recall Corner — August 2006

Workhorse Custom Chassis Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 06V148000, which affects some 2005 and 2006 W20, W22, and W24 motorhome chassis manufactured between April 28, 2005, and March 15, 2006. The potential number of chassis involved is 3,881.

Certain motorhome chassis may have been equipped with incorrect steering intermediate shafts. The spline on the incorrect part does not match with the corresponding steering gear input shaft and could strip while the steering wheel is being turned. This condition could increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft. The repair is expected to take approximately 30 minutes. However, because of service scheduling times, the service center may need the vehicle for a longer time period.
