What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: motor homes built on freightliner chassis. The anti-lock braking system (abs) rear brake valves can be damaged due to the fresh water tank sagging downward.

Possible consequence

This will result in automatic application of the emergency brake causing a rapid deceleration and stopping of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install a steel support bracket that runs fore and aft under the fresh water tank between two chassis cross members below the tank. Owner notification began march 19, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact airstream at 1-877-596-6505.
