2003–2008 Newell Motor Home recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain Motor homes equipped with bendix parker check valves, the parker brass check valve which connects to the supply port of the bendix SR-7 spring brake CAN fail.
💥 The risk
This condition CAN cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button. These conditions CAN occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in the case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the brass check valve free of charge. The recall began on september 9, 2007. Owners may contact newell coach at 1-888-963-9355 or bendix AT1- 440-329-9000.
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.)
