Steering / Gear Box / Shaft Pitman
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Tiffin is working with freightliner to replace the steering gear free of charge (please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.
Report filed by TIFFIN MOTORHOMES, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number FL-509.
05V307000Received . 265 units.
Electrical System
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. The copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
When the torque is relaxed, the lugs can become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the changeover box. The recall began on july 21, 2005. Owners may contact tiffin at 1-256-356-8661.

Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer
- Defect, in the NHTSA record

- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
A vehicle occupant could be injured if the washer/dryer moved.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
