Recall 09V-437: 2007–2009 Roadtrek Rsad, 2007–2009 Roadtrek Rsaf and 2 more
ROADTREK MOTORHOMES INC. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Nov 6, 2009, covering about 520 vehicles.
The problem
Roadtrek is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 class b roadtrek rsad, ssad, rsaf and ssaf motorhomes built on chrysler sprinter van chassis. The brake line comes in close proximity to the battery and battery tray and can rub against them. This situation can damage the coating on the brake line and expose the bare steel. Also, battery acid can drip on the brake line.
The risk
Either of these defects could result in a brake fluid leak which could cause partial brake failure. This could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the brake line for adequate clearance between the line and the battery and battery tray. When required they will move the brake line if not compromised. If compromised they will replace the line and install it with adequate clearance. The remedy will be performed free of charge. The recall began on november 30, 2009. Owners may contact roadtrek at 1-888-762-3872.
