What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH AN INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION (IFS) GEN II BUILT BY HOLLAND USA, THE GEAR PLATE SUPPORT GUSSETS WERE REMOVED. THIS CAN ALLOW THE PLATE TO FLEX DURING A STATIC STEER CONDITION.
What can happen
THE FLEXING MAY RESULT IN STRESS CRACKING WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
HOLLAND USA IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. A BOLT-ON STRENGTHENING OF THE STEERING GEAR PLATE WITH U-BOLTS CONNECTING THE CROSS MEMBER TO EACH SIDE OF THE GEAR PLATE AT THE REAR PLUS A TUBE SUPPORT IN THE FRONT WITH J-BOLTS TO THE GEAR PLATE WILL BE INSTALLED. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HOLLAND USA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-888-396-6501 FOR INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE FREE OF CHARGE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
