What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOME AND COMMERCIAL CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH JB8 POWER HYDRAULIC BRAKE OPTION. AN INCORRECT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. THE INCORRECT MODULE DOES NOT REDUCE BRAKE POWER TO THE REAR AXLE BRAKES.

The risk

IN THE EVENT OF A ANTI-LOCK MODULE FAILURE, THE ADDITIONAL BRAKE POWER CAN CAUSE THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP CAUSING REAR TIRE SKID.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
