    Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Damon is recalling 738 my 2005-2007 astoria, tuscany, my 2005 astoria waldorf, and my 2006-2007 astoria pacific motor homes built on 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, in the NHTSA record
    Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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 damon at 1-800-860-3812.

    Exterior Lighting

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps reflective devices, and associated equipment." these motor homes were built without the red rear reflex reflectors and some motor homes were built without the side rear red reflex reflectors.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    During night driving conditions or while the motor home is parked, the rear and side marker lights will not provide any reflex reflection to mark the vehicle's location in the dark increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Damon will provide the owners with a kit containing the missing reflectors and instructions for applying them to their vehicle. Owners may choose to have their dealers do the repair free of charge. The recall began on july 9, 2007. Owners may contact damon at 1-800-860-3812.
