Issue

On certain motorhomes equipped with IFS2000 model front suspensions, the ABS valve may have been incorrectly oriented at time of installation. As a result, the shaft of the ball joint on the steering relay rod may contact the valve during full right or left turns. If enough contact is made, the valve may fracture without warning, which could result in service brake air pressure not being applied to the affected wheel. This may increase stopping distances or cause the vehicle to pull to one side which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: An Authorized Service facility will inspect the modulator valve and if needed add a spacer behind the ABS modulator valve.
