Entegra Cornerstone Recall 15V429: Rear Jack Plate Can Rub Brake Air Hose, Reducing Braking

NHTSA campaign 15V429, reported July 6, 2015, 211 vehicles potentially affected.

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.
