- Summary
- Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with tag axles. There is reduced braking ability on the rear axle due to the tag axle ABS sensors reading "no tire/wheel rotation," under heavy braking conditions. The sensors detect that the wheel rotation has ceased and then stops sending a signal to the ABS computer.
- Consequence
- The vehicles could have reduced braking ability and increased stopping distances on the rear axle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will delete the ABS on the tag axle (only), by removing the sensors and wiring harness.
- Notes
- Owner notification is expected to begin February 16, 1999.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 foretravel at 1-800-955-6226, ext. 254.

Has your Foretravel 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 Foretravel dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
