We have discussed this recall at great length on the 'other' forum. A little background for those unfamiliar:
Recall only applies to the Evolution chassis (with independent front suspension - Horizon/Vectra)
Model years of 2004, 2005, 2006, ?? (not real sure the years impacted)
Recall applies to the ZF Lenksysteme 8018 steering gear
For the longest I was certain that due to the mileage on my rig, the recall didn't apply to me since this first surfaced over a year ago. That is obviously not the case. To say I was surprised to see the recall appear at the end of 2008 was a surprise to say the least. At first we assumed the notice was for our Jeep.
The recall will consist of inspecting the steering gears for certain date codes and replacing them if appropriate.
We are headed west next month and already were planning on stopping by Freightliner Tolleson to get our new fuel fill necks installed, we'll just add one more thing to the list.
