Posted on: 2009-10-05DescriptionEntegra coach is recalling model year 2009-2010 motorhomes equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
ConsequenceMalfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
