The defect

CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTDRAULIC-BRAKING DEVICE BUILT BY AUSCO. WHEN ACTIVATED, THE MASTER CYLINDER APPLIES THE BRAKES ON THE TAG AXLE. IF THE MOTOR HOME IS TRAVELING, THE TAG AXLE BRAKES COULD LOCK-UP.

The risk

THIS WILL CAUSE SEVERE HEAT IN THE BRAKES RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE FIRE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THIS BRAKING DEVICE WITH ONE FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 15, 2002. 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 NEWMAR AT 1-574-773-7791.

Notes

CONSUMERS CAN 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.
