What's wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES. THE REAR BRAKE LINE MAY NOT BE PROPERLY FASTENED TO THE REAR AXLE IN THE ORIGINAL LOCATION. OVER TIME THIS COULD CAUSE FAILURE OF THE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM.
The risk
THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN DIMINISHED BRAKING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR AXLE BRAKE LINES TO ENSURE THEY ARE PROPERLY CLIPPED TO THE REAR AXLE, HAVE NOT BEEN DEFORMED, AND THAT THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE LINES AND ANY OF THE REAR AXLE OR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. IF THERE IS ANY DEVIATION FROM THE FACTORY LINE ROUTING AND FASTENING OR IF ANY OTHER DAMAGE, INTERFERENCE OR DEFORMATION IS APPARENT, DEALERS WILL RE-ALIGN, SECURE, AND REPLACE THE LINES IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 1, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT PLEASURE WAY AT 1-306-934-6578.
ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
