Service Brakes · reported May 19, 2025
RAM recall #C4B, affecting ABS and Electronic Braking. Recall in effect, but no parts available for fix. This recall has been in effect for a few years. This vehicle is a 20000 lb motorhome, and my family's safety is being compromised by RAM dragging their feet and delaying the supply of replacement parts. I've contacted two RAM dealers and RAM Customer Service to no avail.

Prior to each trip I personally inspected the wheel simulators for proper attachment and security. My concern is the hazard these failures to other motorists on the highway as well as the expense of replacement. Dealer ship parts clerk states ( Off the record) that they sell approximately 50 of these wheel simulators per year.

The fire was put out very quickly at the shop where they were going to hook up a tow bar on this new rv. (They had fully prepared the tow vehicle and this was to be the final step) it is unknown when the incident began to occur but the fire most likely started as the rv was being driven from our home in meadow vista ca to one stop truck shop in sacramento ca. The fire started a few minutes after the rv was parked in the…

Nhtsa recall: 19v902 dynamax - forest river and dealer network are unable or unwilling to schedule a timely appointment to address the above referenced recall. Deals do not want to schedule the work promptly because we did not purchase the unit from them. Forest river indicates they can not modify a dealers schedule. Numerous calls and emails to forest river warranty and corporate compliance office to resolve. No luck.
