Recall 01V-322: Vehicle Speed Control

Reported Nov 26, 2001 · 194 vehicles affected · COUNTRY COACH INC

Problem: Vehicle description: motor homes equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries. The weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.

The dash heater/defroster system will not produce heat while traveling. When stopped, such as at a stop light, the heater works fine. This makes the coach unfit for use on cool or cold days.
