The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH DANA SUSPENSIONS. A MACHINING OPERATION WAS OMITTED FROM THE SUSPENSION PIVOT ARM.
Risk
THE DOWNWARD SUSPENSION TRAVEL WILL BE RESTRICTED AND AN INTERFERENCE CAN OCCUR BETWEEN THE PIVOT ARM AND THE UPPER WISHBONE. IF LEFT UNATTENDED, IT CAN RESULT IN DEFORMATION AND CRACKING OF THE UPPER WISHBONE CASTING.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE UPPER WISHBONES THAT HAVE ANY SIGNS OF METAL TO METAL CONTACT AND ALL PIVOT ARMS WILL NEED TO BE MODIFIED WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOW SIGNS OF METAL CONTACT.
