Recall history

8 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

05V250000 · Electrical System

Reported: 2005-06-02 (June 2, 2005) · Model years: 1998, 2005

ON CERTAIN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH VANSCO VMM 2820 MODULES, THE MODULE MAY EXPERIENCE A FAILURE OF ALL OPERATIONAL FUNCTION.

Consequence: A FAILURE OF THE MODULE WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF ENGINE OPERATION. SHOULD THIS OCCUR WHILE THE COACH IS BEING DRIVEN, THE COACH WOULD HAVE TO BE COASTED TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER ASSIST FOR THE STEERING. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ASSIST COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THESE MODULES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 28, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT WESTERN RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AT 1-509-853-2940.

Remedy: WESTERN RV WILL BE WORKING WITH DOMETIC IN ORDER TO REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS (PLEASE SEE 06E076). DOMETIC WILL REPAIR THESE REFRIGERATORS BY INSTALLING A SECONDARY BURN HOUSING, A THERMAL FUSE, AND A MELT FUSE FREE OF CHARGE. DOMETIC HAS RETAINED STERICYCLE INC. TO MANAGE THIS CAMPAIGN.

00V279002 · Service Brakes, Air:Antilock

Reported: 2000-11-21 (November 21, 2000) · Model years: 1999, 2000

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SHUTTLE BUSES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, UTILITY VANS, AND HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH MERITOR WABCO PHASE 1, D-VERSION ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), FAIL TO COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS." AN INTERNAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM IN THE ABS MAY NOT DETECT AN EXTREME WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AIR GAP. SUCH A CONDITION COULD POSSIBLY OCCUR DURING (1) ORIGINAL ASSEMBLY OR (2) SUBSEQUENT WHEEL END SERVICE.

Consequence: THIS COULD DISABLE THE ANTI-LOCK FUNCTION ON THE AFFECTED WHEEL WITHOUT PROVIDING THE REQUIRED OPERATOR WARNING THAT THE ABS FUNCTION REQUIRES SERVICING.

Remedy: MERITOR IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY SCHEDULING FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. THE ABS ECU WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED OR THE ECU WILL BE REPROGRAMMED ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. 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 MERITOR WABCO AT 1-800-535-5560.

ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES (36', 38' AND 40") BUILT WITH BOSCH TWO-PISTON PIN-SLIDE BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, THE BRAKE CALIPERS CAN HANG-UP ON ANY OR ALL WHEELS.

Consequence: DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE COMPONENTS CAN OCCUR RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ZOPS DISC BRAKE CLIPERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 16, 2004. 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 WESTERN RV AT 1-509-457-4133.

Reported: 2004-01-28 (January 28, 2004) · Model years: 2000, 2001

ON CERTAIN MOTORHOMES, AN INCORRECT 250-AMP GROUND FUSE WAS USED TO PROTECT BATTERY GROUND. THE CORRECT FUSE WAS RATED FOR 300 AMPS.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE 250-AMP GROUND FUSE WITH A 350-AMP CONNECTOR. 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 WESTERN RV AT 509-457-4133.

Reported: 2005-05-20 (May 20, 2005) · Model years: 2004, 2005, 2006

ON CERTAIN CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH VEHICLE SYSTEMS' AQUA-HOT AND HYDRO-HOT WATER HEATERS, WHICH USE WEBASTO BURNER TUBES, THE BURNER TUBES DO NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND COULD FAIL PREMATURELY.

Consequence: THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST TUBE EXITING FROM THE HEATER CAN INCREASE AND COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IN OR AROUND THE VEHICLE.

Remedy: VEHICLE SYSTEMS IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VEHICLE SYSTEMS AT 1-800-685-4298 OR WESTERN RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AT 1-800-685-4298.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
