What’s wrong with it?
THE SWAY BAR COULD BECOME NONFUNCTIONAL AND THE UNIT WOULD BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.
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.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
