NHTSA recall 14V179000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Winnebago Industries, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Winnebago industries, Inc. (Winnebago) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Travato, 2014 Trend and Itasca Viva! Motorhomes manufactured November 13, 2013, through April 3, 2014 on Ram Promaster chassis. During the manufacturing of the chassis, a tool may have damaged one of the brake hoses which may result in a leakage of brake fluid from the brake hose.
Why it matters: Brake fluid leakage would result in a reduction of brake performance, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Chrysler (Ram) has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the brake hoses, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 26, 2014.
