| Defect Summary | Winnebago is recalling 1,699 my 2005-2009 winnebago journey, tour and itasca meridian and ellipse motor homes built on the freightliner xc chassis. the chassis contains steering filters that can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure potentially leading to a hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Freightliner is conducting this recall and will replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07v570). owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or winnebago at 1-641-585-3535. | |||||||||||||||
