Plain-English summary

Kongsberg Power Products Systems I, Inc. (KPPS) is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 motorhomes manufactured after April 2007. The affected vehicles are equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake pedal assemblies supplied by KPPS. The recall covers specific models from Safari Coach, Holiday Rambler, Beaver Coach, and Monaco Coach.

The defect involves a drive pin that secures the brake pedal arm to the rest of the assembly. This pin may become disengaged, which can cause a reduction in vehicle braking or cause the brake pedal to move out of position and interfere with the throttle pedal function. A reduction in braking or interference with the throttle pedal could result in a crash.

KPPS will provide a clamp assembly kit along with installation instructions free of charge. The safety recall began on July 16, 2010. Owners may contact KPPS at 1-877-485-6647 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
