Recall 08V-416: 2008–2009 Gulf Stream Tourmaster
GULF STREAM COACH, INC. recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Aug 15, 2008, covering about 5 vehicles.
The problem
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.
