The problem
Vehicle description: 1999 and 2000 motor homes manufactured between april 2 and november 20, 1999, and equipped with abs systems with brake wiring harness part #2505168. The electrical connector which connects to the modulator was mis-wired causing the anti-lock brake modulator to react improperly while regulating hydraulic pressure to the appropriate wheel.
The risk
Failure of the anti-lock braking system could cause a loss of control of the vehicle in certain braking situations.
The fix
Dealers will install a wiring harness update, which properly routes the electrical signal from the ecu to the modulator. 7Owner notification is expected to begin july 13, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact safari/beaver/harney at 1-800-344-6332.
