- Problem
- Entegra Coach (Entegra) is recalling certain model year 2015 and 2016 Cornerstone Class A motorhomes, models 45B, 45J and 45K, manufactured from February 24, 2014, through August 18, 2015, and built on a Spartan Chassis. The affected motorhomes have rear jack plates that may rub on the tag axle brake air hose when the plates are retracted.
- Risk
- If the rear jack plates rub on the air brake hose, an air leak may occur when the brake pedal is being pressed, reducing the braking performance of both the drive axle and the tag axle, lengthening the distance needed to stop the motorhome and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Entegra will notify owners on behalf of Spartan, and dealers will reposition the tag axle brake air hose so that it is clear of the jack plate, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2015. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
On certain Entegra Cornerstone Class A motorhomes from model years 2015 and 2016, the rear jack plates may rub against the tag axle brake air hose when the plates are retracted. Over time, this can cause an air leak while the brake pedal is pressed.
An air leak reduces braking performance at both the drive axle and the tag axle. That means the motorhome can take longer to stop, which raises the risk of a crash.
Owners will be notified by Entegra on behalf of Spartan. Authorized dealers will reposition the tag axle brake air hose so it is clear of the jack plate, at no cost to you. You can contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787, and you should check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
