 Defect summaryForest river is recalling 89 my 2003-2008 tsunami motor homes 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 recirculation balls to escape from the recirculation ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
 Consequence summaryThe operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
 Corrective actionForest river is working with freightliner and zf to replace the steering gear (please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or forest river at 1-574-389-4600.
