   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain motor homes, truck campers, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator, manufactured by the dometic corporation, may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.

   Service Brakes, Air / Antilock

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: shuttle buses, recreational vehicles, utility vans, and heavy duty trucks equipped with meritor wabco phase 1, d-version antilock brake system (ABS), fail to comply to the requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." an internal diagnostic system in the ABS may not detect an extreme wheel speed sensor air gap. Such a condition could possibly occur during (1) original assembly or (2) subsequent wheel end service.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This could disable the anti-lock function on the affected wheel without providing the required operator warning that the ABS function requires servicing.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Meritor is conducting the owner notification and remedy scheduling for this campaign. The ABS ECU will be removed and replaced or the ECU will be reprogrammed on the affected vehicles. 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 meritor wabco at 1-800-535-5560.
