2006–2008 Newell Motor Home recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain Motor homes equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
💥 The risk
This could delay or fail to apply the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Bendix is handling the remedy for this campaign please see (07E-037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected SR-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on september 17, 2007. Owners may contact bendix at 440-329-9000 or newell coach at 1-888-963-9355.
