NHTSA recall 12V327000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with bosch hydraulic brakes. Hydraulic brake equipped motorhome chassis exposed to long periods of time of non-driving may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance.
Why it matters: Reduced brake performance may lead to an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Tiffin will notify the owners, and authorized daimler trucks north america (dtna) dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the brake calipers free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners by dtna on August 6, 2012.
