00V139000 · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
Reported: 2000-05-15 (May 15, 2000)
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOME AND COMMERCIAL CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH JB8 POWER HYDRAULIC BRAKE OPTION. AN INCORRECT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. THE INCORRECT MODULE DOES NOT REDUCE BRAKE POWER TO THE REAR AXLE BRAKES.
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A ANTI-LOCK MODULE FAILURE, THE ADDITIONAL BRAKE POWER CAN CAUSE THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP CAUSING REAR TIRE SKID.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE.
