Not all hydraulic brakes are found on gassers, some early Alpines also came with Bosch hydraulic brakes and had issues.

Someone was kind enough on one of my other topics to send me a link to this recall. This is exactly what my brakes did. However, it's been 10 yrs since it was manufactured so I couldn't see how the recall issue could effect my particular coach after so much time. To be safe, though, I contacted Holiday Rambler. They looked into it & said that it appeared that my particular coach was manufactured about 6 weeks after the recall issue was fixed. Close call.
