Recall 08V-426: 2006–2007 Gulf Stream Crescendo, 2006–2007 Gulf Stream Friendship and 2 more
GULF STREAM COACH, INC. recall for steering, reported to NHTSA on Aug 21, 2008, covering about 99 vehicles.
The problem
Gulf stream is recalling 99 my 2006-2007 crescendo, yellowstone, friendship and tourmaster motor home chassis built using inline power steering filters. The filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
The risk
Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (Please see 07v570). Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.
