What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE REAR SUSPENSION, FRONT SPRING HANGER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY MAY FAIL UNDER CERTAIN ROAD CONDITIONS. A HARD SHOCK TO THE REAR SUSPENSION MAY FORCE THE FRONT SPRING HANGER MOUNTING BOLTS TO SHEAR.

The risk

IF THIS OCCURS, THE REAR SUSPENSION WOULD COLLAPSE,RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

STRENGTHEN THE REAR SUSPENSION BY ADDING A PART TO THE SPRING HANGER WHICH WILL HELP CARRY THE LOAD OF THE CHASSIS AND REDUCE THE LEVERAGE OF THE SUSPENSION ON THE MOUNTING BOLTS.

Notes

SYSTEM: REAR SUSPENSION.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: IC-2242 MOTORHOME CHASSIS.

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.
