2004 Winnebago Vecta recalls

Recall 07V-577: Steering

Reported Dec 12, 2007 · 1,972 vehicles affected · WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES, INC.

Problem: Certain motor home chassis equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculation balls to escape from the recirculation 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: Winnebago is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear free of charge. Owners may contact winnebago at 641-585-3535 or freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
