| While traveling on state route 422 in ohio at approximately 55 mph, the auto park feature on my 1996 winnabago (chevy p30 chassis) activated causing the vehicle to stop quickly. i pulled to the side of the road, placed the unit in park and then back into drive. the brake released and i was able to continue to get a service agency to checkout the problem. nothing turned up in the checkout. i did notice on your site that there was a nhtsa campaign id number 94v183000 that covers my problem. i bought this unit used but have never received any recall notice. should i expect one? *jb | |||
