The problem
On certain motor homes built on chevrolet chassis and equipped with bosch hydro-boost brake assemblies, the hydraulic brake booster pressure accumulator may crack and separate from the hydro-boost assembly during normal operating conditions.
The risk
If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle were open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. The presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. The loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash may occur without prior warning.
The fix
Chevrolet is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Chevrolet will test the hydro-boost assembly for functional operation of the two-function valve. If the hydro-boost assembly fails the test, dealers are to replace the assembly. Owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
