Foretravel Realm Recall 17V098: Brake Pedal May Not Fully Engage, Raising Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 17V098, reported February 14, 2017, 22 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2015-2017 Foretravel Realm motorhomes may have brake pedal movement restricted inside the pedal box. This restriction could keep the brake pedal from traveling its full range, which may prevent full brake application.

A reduction in braking ability can increase the risk of a crash. If you own an affected Realm, be aware that your brakes may not perform as fully as they should.

Foretravel will notify owners, and dealers will reposition or modify the pedal box to restore proper brake pedal travel. The repair is free of charge. The recall began on March 22, 2017. Contact Foretravel customer service at 1-800-955-6226 for more information, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
