DEFECT #1 - STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY


Posted on: 2007-11-28
Description
On certain motor coaches, the castle nuts on the tie rod ends and relay rod studs in the independent suspension assemblies are loose and/or not tightened to specifications.  Low and/or no torque on a nut can result in excessive slack in the steering system, thereby allowing the tapered joint to move and subsequently shear the cotter pin.

Consequence
This condition can result in the steering link to become disconnected and cause a loss of steering control which could result in a crash.

Corrective Action
Blue bird is working with arvin-meritor to repair these coaches (please see 07e094).  The recall began on november 19, 2007.  Owners may contact blue bird at 1-478-822-2242.
