What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THE REAR BRAKE CHAMBERS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES AS PART OF THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM ARE INADEQUATE. THE INADEQUATE REAR BRAKE CHAMBERS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PARKING BRAKE.

The risk

THIS COULD RESULT IN THE UNANTICIPATED MOVEMENT OF AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE, AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE CHAMBERS.

Notes

OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2000.OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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.
