Poorly installed calipers could come into contact with the vehicle’s spring suspension, creating a crash risk... The German auto and truck company also is recalling 2,989 recreational vehicle chassis with a faulty brake activation signal...

The brakes on a towed device could then remain engaged, increasing the risk of an injury and collision...
