Defect SummaryCertain motor home chassis built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears, these gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. this could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
Consequence SummaryThe operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
Corrective SummaryAlfa leisure is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear free of charge (please see 07v343 and 07e049). owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or alfa leisure at 1-800-373-3372.

 Last year could smell something hot by the electrical panels. upon checking the iota its-50r 50 amp transfer switch was warm. i checked the terminals and found 2 loose ones. i did not thing much about it until now i see there has be recalls on several rv's using the same switch. my original mfg, alfa leisure, has gone out of business, however, on the alfa owners web forum, several other alfa owners have had to replace their switches because of hot or melted situations. how do we see if we can have a recall inspection also? ref campaign 12v060000 and forest river is recalling 850 units. *tr
