Posted on: 2002-01-02
Description
Vehicle description: street sweepers equipped with meritor wabco phase 1, d-version antilock brake system (abs), fail to comply to the requirements of fmvss no. 105, hydraulic and electric brake systems.

Corrective Action
The abs ecu will be removed and replaced on these motor homes. Owner notification began december 28, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact epg/athey at 1-847-741-5370 or meritor wabco at 1-800-535-5560.
