NHTSA recall 04V565000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
Details
What's wrong: Certain motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 105, 'hydraulic and electric brake systems,' and no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." Some of these motorhomes were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief valve bore.

The fix: Gm is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. Owners should contact GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or four winds at 937-295-2983.
