Recalls for 2009 Four Winds Presidio 400

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION

Posted on: 2008-07-24
Description
Four winds is recalling certain my 2008-2009 motor home chassis equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions.  In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.  

Consequence
If the weld fails, vehicle stability while cornering could be affected resulting in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a crash.  In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks that could cause a fire hazard.  

Corrective Action
Four winds is working with daimler trucks and saf-holland to have a visual inspection of the adl transverse beam performed.  If a weld defect is identified, saf-holland will provide a service replacement kit that contains a new transverse beam, all necessary installation hardware, beam replacement, and instructions free of charge (please see 08e031 and 08v269).  Owners may contact saf-holland at 1-231-773-3271, daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712, or four winds at 1-800-860-5658.
