Defect SummaryFour winds is recalling certain my 2008-2009 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.
Consequence SummaryIf 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.
Corrective SummaryFour winds is working with daimler trucks and 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 and 08v269). owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, or four winds at 1-800-860-5658.

 I own a 2008 presidio 400 motorhome built by mandalay. the wiper system on my motorhome has not worked since the first time i tried to use them. at a speed of 60 - 65 mph, the passenger blade travels to far to the drivers side and locks up with the drivers side wiper and they both cease to work. i have taken the motorhome into the dealership twice and to the mandalay service center in elkhart, in. once and the system is still not working correctly. the dealership tried adjusting the system, did not replace any parts. the mandalay service center tried to replace the 2008 wiper arm and blade that came on the motorhome with the 09 wiper arm and blade, and this did not work. now they feel that the wiper arm acorn was not seated correctly and they are sending me new acorns to replace those i have. i feel that this situation is a serious safety concern. how can i continue to drive this motorhome down the road if i do not know if the wiper system is going to work or not!! i guess i don't think mandalay feels the same way about this situation. *tr
