What this recall means for you
The accelerator pedal position sensor on certain motorhomes may fail to return fully to zero. When this happens, the engine brake can suddenly stop engaging as expected, which reduces the vehicle's ability to slow down. Because the loss happens without warning, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Daimler Trucks North America dealers will replace the throttle pedal at no cost to the owner. The recall began on August 15, 2016. Owners can contact Entegra Coach customer service at 1-800-945-4787, the Daimler Warranty Campaign Department at 1-800-547-0712, or [email protected].
If you own a 2015 or 2016 Entegra Aspire or Aspire TK, check whether your vehicle is included, and check your VIN for any open recalls before your next trip.
