WHILE TRAVELING ON STATE ROUTE 422 IN OHIO AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AUTO PARK FEATURE ON MY 1996 WINNABAGO (CHEVY P30 CHASSIS) ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP QUICKLY. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACED THE UNIT IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. THE BRAKE RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO GET A SERVICE AGENCY TO CHECKOUT THE PROBLEM. NOTHING TURNED UP IN THE CHECKOUT. I DID NOTICE ON YOUR SITE THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 94V183000 THAT COVERS MY PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS UNIT USED BUT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE. SHOULD I EXPECT ONE? *JB
