- Component:
- Steering:gear box (other than rack and pinion)
- Manufactured:
- 04/30/2003 - 05/30/2003
- Affected:
- 602
- Defect:
- Certain motor home chassis built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears, these gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. this could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.

- Correction:
- Alfa leisure is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear free of charge (please see 07v343 and 07e049). owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or alfa leisure at 1-800-373-3372.
