2006: “I have just learned of the bad design of the steering box bracket on my 2006 alpine APEX motor home. I did the testing recommended by others and find that the bracket flexes a large amount when turning the wheel from left to right and back. The coach was built by Western rv of union gap, wa and was bought out by monomoy inc of new york. I have not heard of any recall as of yet.”
