2003 Damon Intruder Brakes Problems

“Re: recall 50901-c repairs dated 11/16/07-6/15/09 I have had three repairs due to this problem. The most expensive was in 6/2007 - why is a time-frame mentioned and how can I have my problem addressed? My VIN falls in the area of recall and I feel that my bills related to the recall should be paid also. Five months should not make a difference if the recall is related to a vehicle. Please help.”

“I was driving the rv on a highway at 55 MPH when I stepped on the brake. The steering wheel turned hard to the right as the right brake locked up. My foot went to the floor on the brake pedal. Had to pump brake pedal very to stop the vehicle. Took my foot off the brake and everything seemed o.k. A short time later, smelled something burning and large amount of smoke came from the right rear wheel area. Stopped vehicle and got out and found all wheels hot and smoking. The behavior continued off and on. Took to rv dealer and waiting to get diagnosis and estimate on ABS brake repair.”

“1. No accident occurred, luckily. 2. While traveling through the houston area in stop and go traffic, the brakes suddenly turned to mush and I could not stop. Luckily the vehicle in front of me moved again just as I was about to roll into them. By leaving plenty of extra space and pumping the brakes 3 or 4 times I was able to keep from rolling into the vehicle in front of me. Eventually after getting out of the stop and go traffic the brakes returned to normal and I have not had this happen again although this was not the first time this occurred. …”

The manufacturer stated that there were not enough complaints for them to proceed with any type of assistance. The VIN was verified, but appears to be inaccurate. The failure and current mileages were less than 20,206.”

“The contact owns a 2003 Damon Intruder 373 recreational vehicle. The contact stated the rear brakes continued to lock and exhibit smoking when engaged. The ABS warning light was also illuminated on the warning panel. The dealer where there were unknown repairs made to the vehicle. After repairs, the failure persisted and the brakes felt extremely spongy. The dealer advised bleeding the brakes if the failure persisted however the contact was unfamiliar with the procedure. The manufacturer was contacted and advised taking the vehicle to an authorized dealer that could make the necessary repairs. …”
