2003 Alfa Gold recalls
Recall 08V-016: Steering
Problem: Certain motor home chassis built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears, these gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
Risk: The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Alfa leisure is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear free of charge (Please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or alfa leisure at 1-800-373-3372.
Recall 07V-220: Equipment
Problem: Certain fifth wheel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (Gas flame) is present.
Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Fix: Alfa leisure will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 06e076). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist you in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. Owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or alfa leisure at 1-800-373-3372.
