What’s wrong with it?

EITHER OF THESE DEFECTS COULD RESULT IN A BRAKE FLUID LEAK WHICH COULD CAUSE PARTIAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

ROADTREK IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2009 CLASS B ROADTREK RSAD, SSAD, RSAF AND SSAF MOTORHOMES BUILT ON CHRYSLER SPRINTER VAN CHASSIS.

THE BRAKE LINE COMES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE BATTERY AND BATTERY TRAY AND CAN RUB AGAINST THEM.

THIS SITUATION CAN DAMAGE THE COATING ON THE BRAKE LINE AND EXPOSE THE BARE STEEL.

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.
