The problem

Navistar is recalling one model year 2008 safari simba diesel recreational vehicle manufactured on june 29, 2007, equipped with bosch hydraulic brakes. Hydraulic brake equipped motorhome chassis exposed to long periods of time of non-driving may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance.

The risk

Reduced brake performance may lead to an increased risk of a crash.

The fix

Navistar will notify the owner, and an authorized daimler trucks north america (dtna) dealer will inspect and, as necessary, replace the brake calipers, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to the owner by dtna on august 6, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236(tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
