What this recall means for you
Certain brake hoses on the front and rear axles may have been damaged during production, so their outer area can be compromised. Over time, these hoses could begin to leak brake fluid, which reduces braking performance and can cause a loss of directional stability when braking.
These problems raise the risk of a crash. Reduced braking and an unstable vehicle during a stop can make it harder to avoid collisions, especially on the road.
Owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-6310 or Daimler Vans customer service at 1-877-762-8267. Authorized DVUSA dealers will inspect the brake hoses on both axles and replace them as needed at no cost to you. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
