Recall number 11V327000 · Recall details

Service brakes, hydraulicReported April 3, 2009 · 48,876 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Navistar is recalling certain model year my 2001-2008 workhorse w20, w21 and w22 chassis and certain model year 2009 through 2011 monaco rv admiral, arista, monarch, and riptide recreational vehicles equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes.
