2004 Four Winds Dutchmen Express recalls
Recall 04V-565: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Certain motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, 'hydraulic and electric brake systems,' and no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." some of these motorhomes were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief valve bore.
Risk: Consequently, the valve o-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seat fracture.
Fix: Gm is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. Owners should contact gmc at 1-866-996-9463; or four winds at 937-295-2983.
Recall 04V-513: Electrical System
Problem: On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis , a diode in the anti-lock braking system (Abs) module may experience an electrical short.
Risk: The electrical short may cause an ABS malfunction that would illuminate the ABS warning light, or the module may overheat resulting in a burning odor, smoke, and/or fire. This condition may occur while the vehicle is being driven or unattended.
Fix: Ford motor company is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will install a new fuse in the ABS circuit and install a heat shield over the ABS module. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or four winds at 937-295-2983.
Recall 04V-529: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On motor homes built on ford e-series chassis, the air filter element material process resulted in an air filter paper element that can smolder or burn. This change in filter paper composition combined with the configuration of the air induction system, may allow hot carbon particles to contact the air filter element during certain driving conditions that create hot particles.
Risk: These hot particles may ignite the air filter element with the potential for air induction system damage or underhood fire.
Fix: Ford is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will inspect and replace the air filter element. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or four winds at 937-295-2983.
