Recall 91V142000
Steering › Linkages › Drag › Link › Connection — Gillig · reported 26 Aug 1991 · 125 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
GILLIG CHASSIS MAY HAVE STEERING DRAGLINKS WHICH COULD SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR PITMAN ARM DUE TO AN ASSEMBLY ERROR THAT INSTALLED TWP 1/4" SPACERS, WHICH PREVENT PROPER TORQUING BETWEEN THE DRAGLINK AND THE PITMAN ARM.
The risk
IF THE DRAGLINKS WERE TO SEPARATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WASMOVING, STEERING CONTROL WOULD BE LOST AND A VEHICLE CRASH MAY RESULT.
The fix
REMOVE TWO 1/4" SPACERS, REPLACE AND RETORQUE THE LOCK NUT AND COTTER KEY. ALSO, INSPECT THE DRAGLINK SOCKET ASSEMBLY AND PITMAN ARM FOR WEAR AND REPLACE AS NEEDED.
SYSTEM: STEERING.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORHOMES EQUIPPED WITH HFB70 STEERING GEAR,12R22.5 TIRES AND 6V92 ENGINES.
