While traveling on state route 422 in ohio at approximately 55 MPH, the auto park feature on my 1996 winnabago (chevy p30 chassis) activated causing the vehicle to stop quickly. I pulled to the side of the road, placed the unit in park and then back into drive. The brake released and I was able to continue to get a service agency to checkout the problem. Nothing turned up in the checkout. I did notice on your site that there was a the federal safety agency campaign id number 94v183000 that covers my problem. I bought this unit used but have never received any recall notice. Should I expect one?

While driving my newly acquired 1996 winnebago vectra (on a chevrolet p-30 chassis). During an attempted u-turn, I missed turn and had to back up. The vehicle wouldn't go into reverse. I was able to recover. However, there seems to be a problem with the "autopark" system.
