If this happens, there could be a loss of power steering assist. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnNewmar will notify the owner by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to an authorized Shyft Group Inc. repair facility to replace the power steering pump.
