The issue
On certain motorhomes, the I-beam leaf imitators in the front axle suspension and the panhard bar bracket on the rear axle have the potential to crack and break due to inadequate welding process. If this happens, it could cause a loss of vehicle control and a crash. Correction: Dealer will replace the front suspension I-beams and weld stiffeners from the panhard bar bracket to the center differential of the rear axle housing.
Description (français)
Sur certaines autocaravanes, la suspension avant à lames en forme de poutre en I et la rallonge Panhard de l'essieu arrière pourraient se fissurer et se briser à cause d'un procédé de soudage inadéquat. Si cela se produisait, le conducteur pourrait perdre le contrôle du véhicule et avoir un accident. Correction : Le concessionnaire devra remplacer les poutres en I de la suspension avant et souder des raidisseurs entre la rallonge Panhard et le différentiel central du pont arrière.
