THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH FAILURE AND AN OIL LEAK. THE OIL HAD SPILLED ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSING SMOLDERING. THE CONSUMER SUGGESTED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING, THE OPERATOR WOULD NOT REALIZE THE FAILURE, AND UPON PARKING AND SETTING THE PARK BRAKE AND OR EMERGENCY BRAKE, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKING CAPABILITY. (2000 GEORGETOWN MOTORHOME ON A WORKHORSE CUSTOM CHASSIS 1999) *SC *JB
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOME AND COMMERCIAL CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH JB8 POWER HYDRAULIC BRAKE OPTION. AN INCORRECT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. THE INCORRECT MODULE DOES NOT REDUCE BRAKE POWER TO THE REAR AXLE BRAKES.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE.
