What NHTSA recorded

On certain motor coaches, a weld joining a gusset support from the front bogie leg to the steering box mounting plate can crack.

Possible consequence

This can allow additional movement of the mounting plate in dry steer applications and at the extreme outward steering positions increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install an additional gusset to these assemblies and reweld as required. The recall began on march 23, 2007. Owners may contact motor coach at 1-800-241-2947.
