2008 R-Vision Trail-Lite B+ recalls
Recall 08V-205: Power Train
Problem: R-vision is recalling 6 my 2008 trail-lite b-plus and town & country sport motor homes built on ford chassis. The drive shaft may have been manufactured with a slip yoke that has cracks, possibly reducing its fatigue life.
Risk: Cracks in the slip yoke would progress over time and the slip yoke could fracture without warning while the vehicle is being driven allowing the drive shaft to separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: R-vision is working with ford to have the drive shaft and slip yoke inspected and replaced free of charge (Please see 08v165). The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or r-vision at 1-574-268-2111.
Recall 07V-492: Exterior Lighting
Problem: Certain motor homes built on GM chassis fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the anti-lock brake system (Abs) module is programmed incorrectly. When the brakes are applied, the stop lamps will illuminate. When the brake pedal is released and the stop lamps are no longer illuminated but the rear brakes may still be applied. The brake may release after a few seconds or after the next firm brake pedal application.
Risk: If the rear brakes are still applied after release of the brake pedal, the driver may notice a substantial drag when driving and may need to depress the gas pedal further than usual to continue vehicle movement. A vehicle driven with the brakes applied can cause overheating of the brakes, resulting in increased stopping distance which could result in a crash.
Fix: R-vison is working with GM who will reprogram the ABS module free of charge (Please see 07v342). Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc at 1-866-996-9643 or r-vision at 574-268-2111.
