The hazard
On certain motorhomes, the transverse beam weld on the suspension may be improperly located therefore allowing the transverse beam to separate from suspension casting. If the welds fail, vehicle stability could be affected resulting in a loss of vehicle control which could lead to a crash and cause personal injuries or death. In addition, the transverse beam could drop to the ground causing sparks and create a fire hazard. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transverse beam assembly.
