The problem

Certain motor homes equipped with independent front suspension modules manufactured and assembled by arvinmeritor at its frankfort, kentucky facility, and sold excusively to blue bird. Some of the capscrews attaching the control arms to the subframe were not torqued to specification allowing the bolt to become loose and eventually result in a loss of vehicle control.

The risk

Loss of vehicle control can possibly result in a vehicle crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect and re-torque any loose capscrews if necessary. This inspection will be performed free of charge. Arvinmeritor has not provided the agency with a notification program as of yet.
