Summary: Foretravel is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 phenix and nimbus motorhome chassis equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake pedal assemblies p/nos. 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-004, supplied by kongsberg automotive. Some assemblies could contain a drive pin that is below specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the pedal from the remainder of the assembly.
Consequence: If the drive pin becomes disengaged on the brake pedal assembly, it could result in a loss of vehicle braking function and/or cause the brake pedal to interfere with the throttle pedal function. Either condition could result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Foretravel is working with kongsberg to remedy these motorhomes. Please see kongsberg's defect report 09E-064. The remedy will be performed by foretravel free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during January 2010. Owners may contact foretravel at 1-800-955-6226.

Has your Foretravel been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Foretravel dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
