What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: motor homes built on spartan chassis equipped with axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with trw model 20edl ball sockets/drag links. The tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.

Possible consequence

If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Dealers will replace the drag link assemblies. Trw is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.
