What NHTSA recorded

On certain motorhomes equipped with tuthill independent front suspensions, the defect is insufficient tightening torque of the steering knuckle carrier bolt that may result in separation of the steering knuckle from one of the control arms.

Possible consequence

Should the steering knuckle carrier separate from the control arm, the operator could loose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.

Tuthill will notify its customers and provide a retrofit kit p/n k704627 free of charge. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact tuthill transport technologies at 800-225-7824 (ext. #390) or fleetwood at 1-800-322-8216.
