Reported Apr 18, 1977205 vehicles affectedBEATRICE FOODS COMPANY

The defect

The left front tire may hit a structural crossmember when driven over a bump in the road. If the front tire should contact the crossmember, the motorhome may be pulled to the left and into the lane of oncoming traffic. This will be magnified if the air bags in the front suspension have lost air pressure or if the bags were not properly inflated to 40-50 psi.

The remedy

The dealer will remove the improperly located crossmember and replace it with a new crossmember installed farther forward to give adequate clearance above the left front tire. This will be performed free of charge.
