Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Entegra Coach is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Aspire and Aspire TK motorhomes manufactured between July 14, 2014, and January 15, 2016. The recall involves a defect in the throttle pedal position sensor, which may fail to return to zero. This failure can cause the engine brake to suddenly not activate as expected, reducing the vehicle's deceleration ability.

A sudden loss of the engine brake without warning on a motorhome may lead to reduced brake capacity, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), the manufacturer of the motorhome chassis, has notified owners. DTNA dealers will replace the throttle pedal free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2016. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787 or the Daimler Warranty Campaign Department at 1-800-547-0712.
