The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 Winnebago Vectra and Itasca Horizon motorhomes manufactured between November 2006 and May 2009. These vehicles are equipped with Kongsberg Automotive adjustable brake pedals. The defect involves the adjustable brake pedal arm, which may loosen and allow the arm to rotate around its shaft. This rotation can cause the arm to swing in front of the accelerator pedal, reducing braking function.
A loose brake pedal increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the specified model years and manufacturing dates for the Vectra and Horizon models.
Winnebago is working with Freightliner to notify owners. Repairs will be conducted by Freightliner free of charge. The safety recall began during February 2010. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks Warranty Campaigns Department at 1-800-647-0712 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
