2008-2010 Safari Coach Motor Homes Recall 10V284: Brake Pin

Recall 10V284 covers 1,960 2008-2010 Safari Coach motor homes for brake pedal drive pins that can disengage. The clamp kit is free.

Safari Coach is recalling 1,960 2008-2010 motor homes, including the Cheetah, because a drive pin in the adjustable brake pedal assembly can disengage. That can reduce braking or let the pedal move out of position and interfere with throttle pedal function, increasing crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The adjustable brake pedal assembly on the 2008-2010 Safari Coach motor homes in this recall lets the driver set the pedal position while still transferring foot pressure into the braking system. The brake pedal arm is the lever your foot presses, and the drive pin secures that arm to the rest of the pedal assembly.

The defect is in that connection. The drive pin can become disengaged, which leaves the brake pedal arm less secure than designed. If the arm shifts, the vehicle can have reduced braking, and the pedal can move out of position far enough to interfere with the throttle pedal.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not told to expect a light, sound, or gradual pedal change before the pin separates.

Who's affected?

Spans several motorhome lines across the 2008-2010 model years, all tied to the hydraulic brake system.

2009 Safari Coach Cheetah hydraulic brake system
2008 Holiday Rambler Navigator hydraulic brake system
2009 Holiday Rambler Scepter hydraulic brake system
2010 Holiday Rambler Navigator hydraulic brake system
2009 Holiday Rambler Imperial hydraulic brake system

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

What's the safety risk?

Reduced braking or interference with the throttle pedal increases crash risk because the vehicle takes longer to slow or respond as expected. Schedule the recall work soon, and stop using the vehicle if braking feels reduced or the throttle pedal catches. Repair will be free at any franchised Safari Coach dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2010 Safari Coach Cheetah, Navigator, Scepter, Imperial, Patriot, Monterey, Ambassador, Diplomat, Dynasty, Signature, Knight, Endeavor, Executive, Marquis, Contessa, or Camelot is included in this recall.
  2. Call Safari Coach customer service at 1-877-485-6647 to ask for the free clamp assembly kit and installation instructions.
  3. Reference recall number 10V284 when you call so the service desk can match the brake-pedal assembly recall.
  4. Inspect the brake pedal position before each trip and stop driving if the pedal moves out of position or interferes with the throttle.
  5. Install the clamp assembly kit that secures the brake pedal drive pin and helps prevent reduced braking or throttle interference.

What happens at the repair

The recall file describes the repair as a clamp assembly kit, supplied with installation instructions at no cost. Once the remedy is available, a Safari Coach technician installs the clamp assembly on the adjustable brake pedal assembly so the drive pin stays secured and the pedal remains in position. The final dealer repair will be free once available. Campaign 10V284 does not include a clear reimbursement plan, so this section does not add one.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 10V284?

Recall 10V284 covers 1,960 2008-2010 Safari Coach motor homes with adjustable brake pedal assemblies where the drive pin can disengage. That can reduce braking or let the brake pedal move out of position and interfere with the throttle. The free remedy is a clamp assembly kit with installation instructions.

What should I do if my 2008-2010 Safari Coach Cheetah is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific motor home is included in recall 10V284. If it is, contact a Safari Coach service location or KPPS at 1-877-485-6647 and ask for the free brake pedal clamp assembly kit and installation instructions.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to provide the recall remedy at no cost, and the filed remedy says the clamp assembly kit and installation instructions are free of charge. Reference recall 10V284 when you contact service or KPPS.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is reduced braking or throttle pedal interference. If the brake pedal drive pin disengages, the pedal can move out of position, which can affect braking and throttle control. That increases crash risk, so confirm your VIN and arrange the free remedy.

What if I bought this motor home used?

The free recall remedy still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. If you never received the 2010 owner notice, check your VIN and reference recall 10V284 when you contact a Safari Coach service location or KPPS.
