Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling 2014 Free Spirit motorhomes because the spare tire carrier obstructs the driver's side taillight, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Triple E Recreational Vehicles is recalling certain model year 2014 Free Spirit FS22, FS22SS, and FS22TE motorhomes manufactured between September 2013 and March 2014. The recall involves 27 vehicles.

In the affected vehicles, the spare tire carrier and spare tire cover obstruct the visibility of the driver's side taillight. If the taillight is obstructed, drivers behind the vehicle may not see the motorhome's intention to turn left, which increases the risk of a crash.

Triple E RV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the old tire carrier with a newly designed one, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2014. Owners may contact Triple E RV at 1-877-992-9906 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
