2007-2010 Four Winds Motorhomes Recall 10V026: Brake Pedal

If your VIN is in recall 10V026, Four Winds will fix the brake pedal drive pin free at any franchised Four Winds dealer.

Four Winds is recalling 205 2007-2010 Montecito, Mandalay, and Presidio motorhomes because the adjustable brake pedal drive pin can disengage. That can reduce braking or move the brake pedal into the throttle pedal and raise the risk of a crash; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The adjustable brake pedal assembly in these Four Winds motorhomes lets the driver set the brake pedal position for reach and comfort. It still has one basic job: keep the pedal arm connected to the rest of the brake control assembly so pedal force reaches the braking system when the driver presses down.

On affected Montecito, Mandalay, and Presidio motorhomes, the drive pin that secures the brake pedal arm to the assembly can disengage. When that pin comes loose, the brake pedal arm loses its proper connection and position. That can reduce braking force, and the brake pedal can move out of place enough to interfere with the throttle pedal.

There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the brake pedal moving out of position, reduced braking response, or interference near the throttle pedal while the driver is already using the pedals.

Who's affected?

Spans Montecito, Mandalay, and Presidio motorhomes across the 2007-2010 model years, all tied to the same hydraulic brake system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.

What's the safety risk?

Reduced braking or throttle pedal interference increases crash risk. Until the recall work is complete, drive cautiously, leave extra stopping room, and schedule the recall inspection and repair promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Four Winds dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2010 Four Winds Montecito, Mandalay, or Presidio is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Four Winds or Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 to confirm the repair path before driving the motorhome to a dealer.
  3. Ask whether a dealer kit is ready for the adjustable brake pedal C-clamp service that keeps the brake pedal arm secured.
  4. Reference recall number 10V026 when you call, and bring the recall notice if you have it.
  5. Drive carefully until the repair is complete. Leave extra stopping room and stop using the motorhome if the brake pedal moves out of position.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Four Winds technician inspects the adjustable brake pedal and installs a C-clamp kit on the pedal assembly. The kit is meant to keep the brake pedal arm secured in position. Because this record does not list the final remedy as available, confirm repair availability before arranging service. The dealer repair will be free once available, and parts and labor are covered under the recall.
