NHTSA received HOLLAND USA, INC.’s report on May 28, 2004. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
IF A CRACK WERE TO DEVELOP AND PROPAGATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING PLATE WERE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SUSPENSION SUBFRAME, THEN STEERING CAN BECOME LOOSE WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
HOLLAND INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSIONS P/N 90547917 IFS-114 WITH THE 90547978 SUBFRAME FOR USE ON CERTAIN COUNTRY COACH VEHICLES AND SHIPPED BETWEEN MARCH 5, 2003, AND JUNE 28, 2004.
EARLY IFS-114 UNITS WITH P/N 90546687 USED A DIFFERENT SUBFRAME, P/N 90546691 THAT IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL.
THE NEW SUBFRAME DID NOT HAVE GUSSETS THAT HELP SUPPORT THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING PLATE.
THE LACK OF GUSSETS ALLOWS EXCESSIVE FLEXING OF THE STEERING GEAR MOUNTING PLATE WHICH MAY LEAD TO FATIGUE CRACKS.

- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
