2004–2005 Itasca Horizon & 2004–2005 Winnebago Vectra recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motor homes built on a freightliner chassis with a 400-HP cummins engine, a sheet metal "tab" on a wire cover located behind the accelerator pedal has the potential to catch on the accelerator pedal.
💥 The risk
If the accelerator pedal hangs up on the tab of the wire cover, a hazardous situation could result in the pedal not going back to idle position, increasing the risk of personal injury, vehicle damage and, a crash could occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will provide instructions for owners to inspect and if necessary have the wire cover repaired. If owners do not feel comfortable performing the inspection, dealers will inspect and repair as necessary. The recall began on september 17, 2004. Owners should contact winnebago at 641-585-6939.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
