What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH TAG AXLES. THERE IS REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY ON THE REAR AXLE DUE TO THE TAG AXLE ABS SENSORS READING "NO TIRE/WHEEL ROTATION," UNDER HEAVY BRAKING CONDITIONS. THE SENSORS DETECT THAT THE WHEEL ROTATION HAS CEASED AND THEN STOPS SENDING A SIGNAL TO THE ABS COMPUTER.
What can happen
THE VEHICLES COULD HAVE REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES ON THE REAR AXLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL DELETE THE ABS ON THE TAG AXLE (ONLY), BY REMOVING THE SENSORS AND WIRING HARNESS.

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.
