Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 Coachmen Mirada motorhomes, model MDA31FWF, manufactured between August 21, 2015, and October 2, 2015. The recall addresses a defect in the parking brake actuator, which may be out of calibration. This issue can cause the parking brake system to fail to properly hold the vehicle even when the parking brake pedal is fully depressed. Additionally, the parking brake may not disengage completely when the pedal is released.
If the parking brake does not fully engage, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of personal injury or a crash. A parking brake that drags may also result in a wheel end fire.
Forest River will notify owners, and Ford dealers will replace the parking brake foot pedal assembly free of charge. The recall began on December 9, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-293-1581 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
