2008 Four Winds Presidio 400 recalls

Recall 08V-335: Suspension

Reported Jul 11, 2008 · 69 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

Problem: Four winds is recalling certain my 2008-2009 motor home chassis equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.

Risk: If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.

Fix: Four winds is working with daimler trucks and saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed. If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (Please see 08e031 and 08v269). Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, or four winds at 1-800-860-5658.

Recall 08V-009: Steering

Reported Jan 9, 2008 · 55 vehicles affected · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL

Problem: On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with axle alliance company (Aac) front axles, the fasteners that attach the steering arm or tie rod arms to the spindle may be over or under tightened.

Risk: Incorrectly torqued steering arm fasteners may fatigue and fracture which could cause a crash without warning.

Fix: Four winds will be working with freightliner to repair these vehicles. Owners can contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or four winds at 1-574-266-1111.

Visibility · at 1,800 miles · reported Aug 31, 2008
I own a 2008 presidio 400 motorhome built by mandalay. The wiper system on my motorhome has not worked since the first time I tried to use them. At a speed of 60 - 65 MPH, the passenger blade travels to far to the drivers side and locks up with the drivers side wiper and they both cease to work. I have taken the motorhome into the dealership twice and to the mandalay service center in elkhart, in. Once and the system is still not working correctly. The dealership tried adjusting the system, did not replace any parts. The mandalay service center tried to replace the 2008 wiper arm and blade…
