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 structural vehicle defect that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Entegra Coach is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Aspire motorhomes manufactured between July 14, 2014, and January 15, 2016. These vehicles are built on Daimler Trucks North America motorhome chassis and are equipped with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal.

The recall addresses a defect where the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome's service brakes are released. If this occurs, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on the trailer's brake configuration. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, which increases the risk of a crash.

Daimler Trucks will notify owners, and their dealers will modify the affected brake assemblies free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2016. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787 or Daimler Trucks customer service at 1-800-547-0712.
