FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL recall 04V-377 covers 60 2004–2005 Four Winds Mandalay for a low pressure warning: switch problem, reported to NHTSA on August 4, 2004.
Source: NHTSA recall 04V377000 and manufacturer quarterly reports. Started by the manufacturer.
The problem
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, 'AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' IN A SITUATION IN WHICH MULTIPLE ALARMS ARE ACTIVE, A CHECK ENGINE, STOP ENGINE, OR SIMILAR WARNING INDICATOR IS GIVEN PRIORITY OVER THE LOW AIR ALARM BY THE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM CONTROLLER SOFTWARE. IF THE OPERATOR DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THESE HIGHER PRIORITY ALARMS, A LOW AIR ALARM MAY NOT BE DISPLAYED.
The risk
A VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN WITH THE AIR PRESSURE BELOW 60 PSI WITHOUT THE LOW AIR WARNING SOUNDING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
FREIGHTLINER DEALERS WILL RE-FLASH THE SOFTWARE. OWNERS SHOULD FREIGHTLINER AT 1-800-547-0712 OR FOUR WINDS AT 1-574-266-1111.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
