What this recall means for you
Certain motorhome chassis have front sway bar mounting brackets that may not fit properly on the front axle. Over time, the mounting bolts can bend or loosen, and the sway bar may detach from the axle.
If the sway bar comes loose, vehicle handling is affected and the risk of a crash increases. Owners should take this seriously and get the vehicle checked promptly.
The repair is free. Dealers will modify how the sway bar is mounted at no cost to you. DTNA will notify owners directly, but you can also contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 and check your VIN for open recalls.
