05V361000 · Suspension
Reported: 2005-08-17 (August 17, 2005)
SOME (PACIFIC/WALDORF EDITION) MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO.. 120 "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." UNDER CERTAIN LOADING CONDITIONS, THE FRONT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) COULD BE EXCEEDED.
Consequence: UNDER CERTAIN LOADING CONDITIONS, THE FRONT AXLE COULD BECOME OVERLOADED INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH FRONT TIRES WITH A GREATER LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE FRONT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. THE RECALL BEGAN AUGUST 29, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAMON AT 800-860-6362.
NHTSA campaign record ↗07V022000 · Exterior Lighting
Reported: 2007-01-30 (January 30, 2007)
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: 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: 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.
NHTSA campaign record ↗08V233000 · Steering:Hydraulic Power Assist System
Reported: 2008-05-22 (May 22, 2008)
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: 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: 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.
