What NHTSA recorded

Damon is recalling 179 my 2008 astoria, tuscany,essence, and my 2008-2009 astoria pacific motor home chassis equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.

Possible consequence

If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.

Remedy

Damon is working with daimler trucks/saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271 or damon at 1-800-860-3812.
