Recall Corner: November 2008

December 1, 2008

The potential number of motorhomes involved is 127.

Certain motorhomes equipped with a rear hitch-mount tire carrier fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.” The tire carrier impedes the taillight visibility. Poor rear taillight visibility could result in a crash.

Dealers will remove the hitch-mount spare tire carrier and all related hardware. The repair is expected to take approximately 30 minutes. However, because of service scheduling times, the service center may need the vehicle for a longer time period.
For more information about this recall, contact Pleasure-Way at (800) 364-0189. Owner notification was expected to begin in September 2008.


Workhorse Custom Chassis Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 08V442000, which affects some 2006 through 2008 W18 motorhome chassis manufactured from May 10, 2005, through May 8, 2008. The potential number of motorhome chassis involved is 1,319.

On certain motorhome chassis, the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the Pitman arm may have been improperly tightened during assembly. The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection. If the drag link were to separate from the Pitman arm, the driver would not have directional control of the vehicle, which could lead to a crash.

Dealers will replace and properly tighten the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the Pitman arm. The repair is expected to take approximately 30 minutes. However, because of service scheduling times, the service center may need the vehicle for a longer time period.

For more information about this recall, contact Workhorse at (877) 946-7731. Owner notification was expected to begin in October 2008.
