What the defect is
Kongsberg power product systems i, INC (kpps) is recalling certain adjustable brake pedal assemblies, p/nos. 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-004, installed as original equipment for use on various heavy duty trucks. Some assemblies could contain a drive pin that is below specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the pedal from the remainder of the assembly.
What could happen
If the drive pin becomes disengaged on the brake pedal assembly, it could result in a loss of vehicle braking function and/or cause the brake pedal to interfere with the throttle pedal function. Either condition could result in a vehicle crash.
What gets fixed
EACH VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WILL FILE A DEFECT REPORT AND REMEDY PLAN FOR THEIR VEHICLES WHICH INCLUDED THESE ADJUSTABLE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. KPPS IS WORKING WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURES TO IDENTIFY VEHICLES THAT MAY CONTAIN THE DEFECT. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN DECEMBER 9, 2009.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 8 December 2009.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
