What NHTSA recorded

Motorhomes equipped with drag link assemblies containing 20-edl model ball sockets and manufactured by trw. Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.

Possible consequence

If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the defective drag links. Owner/distributor notification began april 18, 2001.
