⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: 1999 and 2000 motor homes manufactured between april 2 and november 20, 1999, and equipped with ABS systems with brake wiring harness part #2505168.

Dealers will install a wiring harness update, which properly routes the electrical signal from the ECU to the modulator. 7OWNER notification is expected to begin july 13, 2000. 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 safari/beaver/harney at 1-800-344-6332.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
