During a stop for a traffic light I depressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. The vehicle was traveling about 30 MPH and when the light changed to amber, I depressed the brake slightly harder than usual. When this happened two of the lines from the ABS controller to the wheels leaked and brake fluid was sprayed on the exhaust system creating much smoke. Since there was no cross traffic a collision was avoided. The vehicle was towed for repairs and all of the hoses from the ABS controller show significant signs of rust. This vehicle was purchased new and used in florida. It has been in michigan for only two years and has had minimal exposure to winter weather and salt.

Equipment
- What is wrong
- Winnebago is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- Risk
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- Remedy
- Winnebago is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The recall began during december 2010. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101 or winnebago at 1‑641‑585‑3535.
