Four Winds Recall 04V377000: Service Brakes, Air, Supply, Low Pressure Warning, Switch

NHTSA recall 04V377000 · announced August 4, 2004 · filed by Four Winds International · 60 units affected

The problem

CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, 'AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' IN A SITUATION IN WHICH MULTIPLE ALARMS ARE ACTIVE, A CHECK ENGINE, STOP ENGINE, OR SIMILAR WARNING INDICATOR IS GIVEN PRIORITY OVER THE LOW AIR ALARM BY THE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM CONTROLLER SOFTWARE. IF THE OPERATOR DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THESE HIGHER PRIORITY ALARMS, A LOW AIR ALARM MAY NOT BE DISPLAYED.

The risk

A VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN WITH THE AIR PRESSURE BELOW 60 PSI WITHOUT THE LOW AIR WARNING SOUNDING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

What to do

FREIGHTLINER DEALERS WILL RE-FLASH THE SOFTWARE. OWNERS SHOULD FREIGHTLINER AT 1-800-547-0712 OR FOUR WINDS AT 1-574-266-1111.
