Roadtrek recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
What is wrong
Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. (Roadtrek) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 RSCM motorhomes manufactured February 14, 2013, through December 20, 2013 on a Mercedes Sprinter van chassis. During installation of the coolant lines, the right front brake line may have been unseated from the brake line holder allowing the brake line to contact the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) tube.
What could happen
Brake line contact with the EGR tube could result in a hole in the brake line, reducing braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Roadtrek will notify owners, and dealers will secure the coolant lines and inspect for unseated brakes lines. Brake lines that show evidence of chafing will be replaced. The recall began on January 30, 2014. Customers may contact Roadtrek at 1-888-762-3873.
