NHTSA recall 08V335000
Suspension
Four Winds Mandalay and 2 more
The defect
Four winds IS recalling certain my 2008-2009 motor home chassis equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. in some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
The risk
If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. in addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.
The remedy
Four winds IS working with daimler trucks and saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. if a weld defect IS identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031 and 08v269). owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, or four winds at 1-800-860-5658.
