Recall 00V254000: Stop Lamp Switch Harness Short Circuit

Motor home chassis. These vehicles may have a mis-routed wire harness that attaches to the brake pedal position switch. The wire could rub on the steering column, resulting in a short circuit and a blown fuse, causing a loss of stop lamp function.

This would fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is braking and could lead to a crash.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the wire harness to the brake pedal switch. Owner notification began September 25, 2000.
