Newmar Corporation 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.
The short version
Newmar Corporation reported a problem with the vehicle speed control accelerator pedal. Here is what owners need to know.
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 capacity, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Newmar will notify owners, and DTNA dealers will replace the throttle pedal, free of charge.
