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.

- 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.
