Summary: Gillig chassis may have steering draglinks which could separate from the steering gear pitman arm due to an assembly error that installed twp 1/4" spacers, which prevent proper torquing between the draglink and the pitman arm.
Consequence: If the draglinks were to separate while the vehicle wasmoving, steering control would be lost and a vehicle crash may result.
Remedy: Remove two 1/4" spacers, replace and retorque the lock nut and cotter key. Also, inspect the draglink socket assembly and pitman arm for wear and replace as needed.
Notes: System: steering.vehicle description: motorhomes equipped with HFB70 steering gear,12R22.5 tires and 6V92 engines.

Has your Gillig been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Gillig dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
