The throttle pedal position sensor on the affected vehicles may not return to zero
July 19, 2016Winnebago Industries is recalling 705 model year 2014-2016 Winnebago Tour motorhomes manufactured May 25, 2013, to November 25, 2015, and Itasca Ellipse motorhomes manufactured May 25, 2013, to November 18, 2015.
The throttle pedal position sensor on the affected vehicles may not return to zero, causing the engine brake to suddenly, not activate as expected, reducing the vehicle's deceleration ability.
A sudden loss of an engine brake without warning on a motorhome may lead to a reduced brake ability, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Daimler Trucks North America has notified owners, and dealers, will replace the throttle pedal, free of charge.
