NHTSA recall 08V416000
Service brakes, air › Supply › Check valve
Gulf Stream Tourmaster
The defect
Gulf stream IS recalling 5 my 2008-2008 tourmaster recreational vehicles equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake control valves. the parker scv brass 90 degree single check valves (scv) which attach to the supply port of a bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can break apart. pieces of the parker scv can become lodged inside the SR-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the SR-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the SR-7 valve. also, due to a manufacturing defect in the internal rubber check valve inside the SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the valves can become deformed and not seat properly.
The risk
These conditions could either result in leakage and cause a delay in the application of the spring brake without warning or possibly lead to unintended vehicle rollaway or brake drag which could result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
The remedy
Gulf stream IS working with daimler trucks to have these vehicles repaired (please see 07v302). owners can contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-071 or gulf stream at 1-574-773-7761.
