I've always considered these vans as one of the iconic representations of North America.

Apparently this is a Workhorse W42, comments anyone?

DEFECT #1 - STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT PITMAN


Posted on: 2008-08-29
Description
Workhorse is recalling 5,606 my 2006-2008 w42 commercial chassis and w18 recreational vehicle chassis.  The castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm may have been improperly torqued during assembly.  The improper torque may have damaged the castle nut and compromised the integrity of the connection.

Consequence
If the drag link were to separate from the pitman arm, the driver would not have directional control of the vehicle possibly causing a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace and properly tighten the castle nut that retains the steering drag link to the pitman arm.  The recall began on september 19, 2008.  Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-946-7731 or at http://www.navistar.com.
