On certain motorhomes equipped with IFS2000 model front suspensions, the ABS valve may have been incorrectly oriented at time of installation. As a result, the shaft of the ball joint on the steering relay rod may contact the valve during full right or left turns. If enough contact is made, the valve may fracture without warning, which could result in service brake air pressure not being applied to the affected wheel. This may increase stopping distances or cause the vehicle to pull to one side which could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: An Authorized Service facility will inspect the modulator valve and if needed add a spacer behind the ABS modulator valve.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2015563.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Newmar Essex, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Newmar: 169 in the register, and 620 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2015.
