Known issues on the 2020 F-53 Motorhome Chassis. One recall is on federal record for the 2020 chassis: the rear stabilizer bar attachment brackets may break and separate from the vehicle, leaving a road hazard behind. Owners have logged 16 complaints with NHTSA, and the suspension accounts for nine of them, with two on the steering and two on the power train. That makes the rear suspension the clear focus for this year, and the manual's suspension procedures, specifications and torque values for the stabilizer bar and its brackets, together with its steering and power train coverage for the 7.3L V8 chassis, are where to look.
