TIE ROD BOOT SEALS ARE CRACKING AND DISINTEGRATING AND NOT HOLDING GREASE AND ARE UNSAFE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. NEWMAR ISSUED A TSB ON 10-19-2006 FROM TRW TO THIS PROBLEM BUT APPARENTLY NOT ALL EFFECTED OWNERS WERE SENT THIS TBS. I NEVER RECIVED ONE AND MY VEHICLE IS IN THIS GROUP. THERE ARE MANY MOTOR HOMES BEING DRIVEN ON THE ROAD AT THE PRESENT WITH THIS UNSAFE PROBLEM. ACCIDENTS ARE GOING TO START HAPPENING AND TRW AND SPARATAN SHOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RECALL THE RIGHT WAY AND NOT HANDLE IT AS A "SILENT RECALL". *TT
