Defect. REV Recreation Group (REV) is recalling certain 2009-2010 and 2012-2014 Holiday Rambler Ambassador, 2010 and 2013-2014 Endeavor, 2009-2010 Neptune, 2010 Scepter, and 2011 Trip diesel motorhomes, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers.

FAILURE OF RV MOTOR HOME ENGINE/TURBO EXHAUST BRAKING SYSTEM... (1) MANUFACTURER DID NOT INSTALL A DASH LIGHT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BRAKE IS ACTIVE. THE DRIVER HAS TO GUESS WHETHER THE BRAKE IS ON OR OFF! (2) SUBJECT BRAKE CEASES TO FUNCTION AT ALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO THE DRIVER (A RECURRING ELECTRICAL ISSUE) -- IF THIS OCCURS ON A MOUNTAIN GRADE IT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS OF THE MOTOR HOME! (3) IF AND WHEN THE ENGINE/EXHAUST BRAKE IS FUNCTIONING IT IS INEFFECTIVE IN ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO MAINTAIN SAFE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN ON MOUNTAIN GRADES. VEHICLE WILL ATTAIN SPEED OF 75 MPH OR GREATER EVEN WHILE THE DRIVER IS APPLYING (AND BURNING UP) THE VEHICLE AIR BRAKES. THIS SITUATION CAN AND WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND SUBSEQUENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I HAVE INFORMED NAVISTAR RV, THE MANUFACTURER OF HOLIDAY RAMBLER MOTOR HOMES, AND THREE INTERNATIONAL TRUCK (AFFILIATED WITH NAVISTAR LLC) REPAIR FACILITIES AND ALL HAVE STATED THAT THE ENGINE/EXHAUST BRAKE IS FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ALL NAVISTAR AND INTERNATIONAL TRUCK REPRESENTATIVES CONTACTED HAVE REFUSED MY INVITATION TO DRIVE OUR MOTOR HOME DOWN A MOUNTAIN GRADE! INCIDENTALLY, THIS IS OUR FIFTH MOTOR HOME SO I AM QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE SUBJECT OF ENGINE/EXHAUST BRAKING SYSTEM CAPABILITY! BOTTOM LINE IS THAT NAVISTAR RV AND ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES HAVE ENGINEERED A ENGINE/EXHAUST BRAKING SYSTEM TH
