    Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Tmc is recalling certain model year 2004-2011 damon and four winds recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak, may not shut-off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.

    Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist System

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Four winds is recalling 120 my 2006-2007 valencia motor homes built on freightliner chassis. The chassis contain 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). The recall is expected to begin during may 2008. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or four winds at 1-574-266-1111.
