1 complaints about the 2017 DRV Full House
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Brake failure secondary to brake hose to rv wheel cylinder losing fluid because brake hose rubbed against frame until it failed. This resulted in loss of brakes when attempting to stop at a city street light. I found that several of the 5 other hoses showed signs of pending failure secondarily to rubbing against frame. These units alos have a potential for catastrophic brake failure if tire blows as lines are exposed.
