NHTSA recall 09V496000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake pedal assemblies p/nos. 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-004, supplied by kongsberg automotive. Some assemblies could contain a drive pin that is below specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the pedal from the remainder of the assembly.
Why it matters: If the drive pin becomes disengaged on the brake pedal assembly, it could result in a loss of vehicle braking function and/or cause the brake pedal to interfere with the throttle pedal function. Either condition could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix: Tiffin is working with kongsberg to remedy these motorhomes. Please see kongsberg's defect report 09E-064. Kongsberg will supply kits to tiffin. The remedy will be performed by tiffin free of charge. The safety recall began on January 19, 2010.
