FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Jan 28, 2008, covering about 21 vehicles.
The problem
On certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and 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 cause a delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Four winds is working with freightliner and bendix to repair these vehicles (Please see 07v302 and 07e037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge.
