What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES. MISALIGNMENT OF THE MOTOR HOMES' FRONT BRAKE HOSES DURING SHARP TURNING MOVEMENTS CAN WEAKEN THE HOSES THROUGH RUBBING AND/OR CHAFFING ON THE STEERING TIRES OR COMPONENTS OF THE FRAME. A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING ON A STEERING WHEEL COULD OCCUR IF THE HOSE RUPTURES, CAUSING THE MOTOR HOME TO PULL SHARPLY TO ONE SIDE.
What can happen
A LOW AIR SITUATION COULD DEVELOP AND RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE REAR SPRING BRAKES RESULTING IN A SUDDEN STOP INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Recall repairs are free of charge.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
