| Defect Summary | Certain motor homes built on gm chassis fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment. the anti-lock brake system (abs) module is programmed incorrectly. when the brakes are applied, the stop lamps will illuminate. when the brake pedal is released and the stop lamps are no longer illuminated but the rear brakes may still be applied. the brake may release after a few seconds or after the next firm brake pedal application. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If the rear brakes are still applied after release of the brake pedal, the driver may notice a substantial drag when driving and may need to depress the gas pedal further than usual to continue vehicle movement. a vehicle driven with the brakes applied can cause overheating of the brakes, resulting in increased stopping distance which could result in a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | R-vison is working with gm who will reprogram the abs module free of charge (please see 07v342). owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc at 1-866-996-9643 or r-vision at 574-268-2111. | |||||||||||||||
