NHTSA recall 16V472000
Vehicle Speed Control · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Charleston vehicles manufactured September 16, 2013, to December 10, 2015 and assembled on a freightliner chassis built by daimler trucks north america (dtna). 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…
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: Forest river will notify owners, and daimler trucks north america dealers will replace the pedal, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2016.
