Defect Summary | On certain motorhomes equipped with arvinmeritor wabco pneumatic anitlock brake system (abs) valve packages, the assembly bolts on these valve packages were not tightened correctly. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | Bolts torqued below specification will not reliably prevent air leakage at the affected abs valve package interface joints once the component begins normal vehicle operation. if air leaks develop at any of the abs valve package interface joints, brake system pressure reductions could occur during braking or normal operation with units equipped with the traction control option, potentially extending stopping distances, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Dealers will tighten the fasteners to the proper specification. 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 arvinmeritor wabco at 1-859-746-5956 or damon at 574-264-2900. | |||||||||||||||

While driving in the rain, the exhaust brake would come on. after restarting the motorhome, the exhaust brake still operated incorrectly. the dealership could find nothing wrong with it. please note this motorhome was in for repair at a freightliner facility on or about 9/12/02 where bolts were cut off the frame. this motorhome has also had a constant noise on the chassis because of the shifting firewall and chassis floor. damon the manufacturer finally repaired it by welding the firewall and floor tubing together. there was also a problem with a break in a charging wire. to repair they installed an overlay wire. to this date they are still unable to find where the break is. we fear there may be a screw through the wiring harness that may cause additional on road problems. this motorhome has been at the dealership since 11/2/02. *tt | |||
