NHTSA recall 12V371000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: These motorhomes chassis are equipped with bosch hydraulic disc brakes which, when 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 a vehicle crash.
The fix: Owners will be notified by daimler trucks/fccc, and repairs will be performed by authorized fccc dealers free of charge. An interim letter was mailed by dtna on August 6, 2012.
