What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The 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.

The 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.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL STUDS AND NUTS, USING LONGER STUDS.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
