Service Brakes, Hydraulic · at 20,000 miles · reported Jan 5, 2011
The rv lost it's rear brakes and almost all front braking action. From what I have been able to ascertain is that the ABS unit is mounted too close to the wheel causing it to get moisture from the road. When it fails the rear brakes fail. International is aware of this problem. Updated 04/13/11
