Consumer Description

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE PERTAINING TO A FAULTY CAMSHAFT THAT'S LOBE COULD SHEAR OFF AND DISABLE THE POWER BRAKING SYSTEM. RECALL 23R1 NHTSA15V705. "..COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING". THEY ALSO STATE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MARCH '16 NOW MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER REFUSE TO DRIVE IN THE CARE KNOWING THAT THE BRAKES COULD LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE DEFECTIVE CARS KNOWING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS CRASH COULD OCCUR.
