Summary:
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI MOTOR HOMES. INCORRECT MOUNTING OF THE HELLWIG HELPER SPRING IN CONJUNCTION WITH A CHANGE IN THE STYLE OF SPRING BEING INSTALLED ALLOWED THE U BOLT SECURING THE HELPER SPRING TO THE OEM SPRING TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE REAR SWAY BAR. |
||
|
Consequence:
THE SWAY BAR COULD BECOME NONFUNCTIONAL AND THE UNIT WOULD BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL ELIMINATE THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE HELPER SPRING U BOLT AND THE SWAY BAR MOUNTING BOLT. DEALERS WILL REMOVE, REVERSE THE MOUNTING, AND REINSTALL THE HELLWIG HELPER SPRING.
