What’s wrong with it?

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

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.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
