- Summary
- Vehicle description: 1999 and 2000 motor homes manufactured between April 2 and November 20, 1999, and equipped with ABS systems with brake wiring harness part #2505168. The electrical connector which connects to the modulator was mis-wired causing the anti-lock brake modulator to react improperly while regulating hydraulic pressure to the appropriate wheel.

- Remedy
- Dealers will install a wiring harness update, which properly routes the electrical signal from the ECU to the modulator. 7OWNER notification is expected to begin July 13, 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact safari/beaver/harney at 1-800-344-6332.

Has your Beaver been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Beaver dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
