What's wrong?

The steering gear on the 2022 Seagrave Marauder is the mechanical box that turns steering wheel input into movement at the front wheels. Inside the gear, small circulating balls help transfer force smoothly as the driver steers. The fire truck depends on that gear to hold together under normal steering loads.

In NHTSA campaign 22V622, Seagrave identified part number P3438837 steering gear with serial number 21K15024 in the recall scope. The steering gear was assembled incorrectly. The remedy gear has the correct number of circulating balls, which points to the assembly error inside the original gear. Under steering load, the incorrectly assembled gear can fracture.

There is no warning sign before failure. A driver should not count on noise, looseness, or a warning light to appear before the gear breaks. If the gear fractures, the driver can lose steering control.
