What's wrong?
The throttle pedal position sensor in a 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire motorhome tells the engine control system where the accelerator pedal is. When you lift your foot, the sensor should return to zero, which tells the powertrain that you are no longer asking for throttle. That zero reading also lets the engine brake activate when expected.
On affected Aspire motorhomes, the pedal position sensor does not always return to zero after the pedal is released. The engine control system still sees throttle input, so the engine brake does not activate when the driver expects it to help slow the coach. That reduces the motorhome's deceleration ability, especially when the driver is relying on engine braking to control speed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver notices the problem only when the engine brake suddenly does not respond as expected after releasing the accelerator.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same accelerator-pedal component in this recall.

| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
A sudden loss of engine brake assistance can reduce braking capacity and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so leave extra following distance and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Entegra dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire is included in this recall.
- Contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787 or your franchised Entegra dealer to schedule the free repair.
- Schedule the throttle-pedal replacement that fixes the pedal sensor problem tied to sudden loss of engine-brake deceleration.
- Bring the recall notice if Entegra or DTNA sent one. If not, reference recall number 16V462 when you call.
- Leave extra stopping distance until the repair is complete because the engine brake can stop activating without warning.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Entegra technician replaces the throttle pedal on the affected motorhome chassis. The repair addresses the pedal position sensor problem that prevents the sensor from returning to zero and interferes with expected engine brake activation. The replacement pedal and labor are free under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm the work is tied to recall 16V462 before the appointment is closed.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 16V462?
Recall 16V462 covers 30 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire motorhomes with a throttle pedal position sensor that can fail to return to zero. That defect can stop the engine brake from activating as expected, reducing deceleration ability. DTNA dealers replace the throttle pedal for free.
What should I do if my 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorhome is included in recall 16V462. If it is, contact Entegra customer service or the Daimler Warranty Campaign Department to arrange the free throttle pedal replacement through a DTNA dealer. Reference recall 16V462 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to complete the recall repair at no cost. For recall 16V462, DTNA dealers replace the throttle pedal free of charge, including parts and labor.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced braking capacity without warning. If the engine brake suddenly fails to activate as expected, the motorhome loses part of its deceleration ability, increasing crash risk. The repair path is a free throttle pedal replacement.
What warning signs should I watch for?
There is no warning sign before the engine brake fails to activate as expected. Because the loss happens without warning, confirm your VIN and schedule the free throttle pedal replacement if your 2015-2016 Entegra Aspire is included.
