2008–2009 Gulf Stream Tourmaster recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Gulf stream is recalling 5 my 2008-2008 Tourmaster recreational vehicles equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake control valves. The parker scv brass 90 degree single check valves (scv) which attach to the supply port of a bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve CAN break apart. Pieces of the parker scv CAN become lodged inside the SR-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the SR-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the SR-7 valve. Also, due to a manufacturing defect in the internal rubber check valve inside the SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the valves CAN become deformed and not seat properly.
💥 The risk
These conditions could either result in leakage and cause a delay in the application of the spring brake without warning or possibly lead to unintended vehicle rollaway or brake drag which could result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
🔧 The fix
Gulf stream is working with daimler trucks to have these vehicles repaired (please see 07V302). Owners CAN contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-071 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.
