NHTSA recall 17V843000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with antilock brake systems (ABS). The brake hydraulic electronic control units (hecu) on these vehicles may be missing valve block ball plugs, potentially causing a brake fluid leak or air ingestion during electronic brake distribution and/or ABS activation.
Why it matters: A brake fluid leak or air ingestion can lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and Ford or Lincoln dealers will inspect the hecu for missing valve block ball plugs, replacing the unit as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on January 24, 2018.
