Daimler Trucks North America power steering fluid temperature may exceed the power steering hose material ratings on some rear engine chassis built with certain 18,000lb and 20,000lb-load capacity front axles used in motor home applications.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the hydraulic power assist power steering fluid. Here is what owners need to know.
The power steering fluid temperature may exceed the power steering hose material ratings on some rear engine chassis built with certain 18,000lb and 20,000lb-load capacity front axles used in motor home applications. This can cause the hose to fail, resulting in a sudden loss of power steering fluid and power assist.
Loss of power steering assist would result in increased difficulty to steer the vehicle in either direction at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering hose with a hose that has a higher temperature rating, free of charge.
