The hazard
On certain motorhomes, a standard nut was used to clamp the intermediate steering shaft instead of a lock type nut. As a result, the nut could loosen, allowing the connection to separate resulting in a loss of steering control and a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the nut and bolt with locking-type hardware.
