The issue

On certain motorhomes equipped with a heavier weight adjustable straight foot pedal, the brake activation signal to the motorhome’s brake lights and to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released. This may cause the motorhome brake lights to potentially remain illuminated, which would result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions. Additionally, if the brakes of a towed vehicle were to remained engaged, it could result in a loss of vehicle control. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will replace the torsion spring of the pedal assembly with an improved spring.

Description (français)

Sur certaines autocaravanes munies d'une pédale de commande au pied plus lourde, ajustable selon le poids, le signal d'actionnement du frein acheminé vers le feux de freinage de l'autocaravane et vers certains dispositifs remorqués pourrait ne pas se désactiver lorsque les freins de service sont relâchés. Cela pourrait faire en sorte que les feux de freinage de l'autocaravane demeurent allumés et que les usagers de la route suivant les véhicules visés ne connaissent pas les intentions du conducteur, ce qui augmenterait les risques d'accident. De plus, si les freins d'un véhicule remorqué demeurent serrés, cela pourrait occasionner une perte de la maîtrise du véhicule. Ces deux situations pourraient augmenter le risque d'accident causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Les installations d'entretien autorisées de Daimler Trucks North America devront remplacer le ressort de torsion de la pédale par un ressort amélioré.
