Itasca Ellipse: Brakes
Affects Itasca Ellipse · 2014–2016 — about 54 vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain motorhomes equipped with an adjustable brake pedal, the brake lights could stay on when the brakes are released. If a vehicle is being towed, this could also cause the towed vehicle brakes to stay applied. Safety Risk: If the brake lights stay on, a following driver may not recognize when the vehicle ahead is braking. Additionally, if the brakes of a towed vehicle stay applied, it could result in a loss of control. Both of these situations could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the torsion spring in the brake pedal assembly.
