The problem
Tiffin motorhomes is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 phaeton, my 2008-2010 bus, and my 2010 allegro motorhomes equipped with kongsberg automotive adjustable brake pedals. The adjustable brake pedal arm may loosen allowing the arm to rotate around its shaft and swing in front of the accelerator pedal, reducing braking function.
The risk
A loose brake pedal increases the risk of a crash.

The owners were initially notified by dtna trucks on december 22, 2009, and a follow up notice was mailed to owners on july 20, 2011.
