Details

What's wrong: The throttle pedal position sensor on the affected vehicles may not return to zero, causing the engine brake to suddenly not activate as expected, reducing the vehicle's deceleration ability.

Why it matters: A sudden loss of an engine brake without warning on a motorhome may lead to a reduced brake capacity potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Daimler trucks north america (dtna), manufacturer of the motorhome chassis, has notified owners, and dtna dealers will replace the throttle pedal, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2016.
