Summary

R-VISION IS RECALLING 6 MY 2008 TRAIL-LITE B-PLUS AND TOWN & COUNTRY SPORT MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON FORD CHASSIS. THE DRIVE SHAFT MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH A SLIP YOKE THAT HAS CRACKS, POSSIBLY REDUCING ITS FATIGUE LIFE.

Consequence

CRACKS IN THE SLIP YOKE WOULD PROGRESS OVER TIME AND THE SLIP YOKE COULD FRACTURE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ALLOWING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy

R-VISION IS WORKING WITH FORD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT AND SLIP YOKE INSPECTED AND REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE "PLEASE SEE 08V165". THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673 OR R-VISION AT 1-574-268-2111.
