The problem
On certain motor homes built on the workhorse p-series chassis, the parking brake bracket is not properly secured to the chassis and can be bent or broken when applied.
The risk
The parking brake could be disengaged and allow the motor home to roll, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will add additional welds to the parking brake bracket. Owner notification began august 21, 2003. Owners should contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
