Service Brakes

Filed Oct 17, 2023VA

The braking seemed weak on this RV but we had no baseline to compare it with since we purchased this one new. Three years after purchasing I was underneath the vehicle tracing a wire when I found the brake line from the brake master cylinder to the rear brakes badly crimped over a bolt in the frame. The line was almost completely closed and there were shiny grooves in it from the threads on the bolt it went over. An independent RV service shop replaced the brake line and said it looked like we had been operating on front brakes only. It appears when the manufacturer stretched the frame to accommodate the RV body, someone ran the brake line over the bolt instead of under it. When they tightened it down it crimped. I have the damaged line. RV going over mountain passes with no brakes.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
