Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Dec 2, 2022
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR

Dec 2, 2022
394 units potentially affected
The defect: Entegra Coach (Entegra) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Aspire and Insignia motorhomes. The service and supply reservoirs have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
The risk: The undersized air brake supply reservoir may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive braking, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will replace the air reservoir, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 21, 2022. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-283-8267.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS

Mar 19, 2018
130 units potentially affected
The defect: Entegra Coach (Entegra) is recalling certain 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 Aspire built on Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) chassis. The power steering hose on the affected vehicles may be routed incorrectly, and, as a result, the hose may rub against the power stud on the starter motor, possibly causing electrical arcing and a power steering fluid leak.
The risk: Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.
The remedy: Entegra will notify owners, and Freightliner dealers will reroute the power steering hose to provide proper clearance, free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2018. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-517-9137.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK

Jan 30, 2018
393 units potentially affected
The defect: Entegra Coach (Entegra) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Aspire and 2017-2018 Insignia motorhomes built on a Spartan chassis. The air brake supply reservoir is less than 12x the combined volume of air for all service brake chambers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
The risk: The undersized air brake supply reservoir may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Entegra will notify owners, and Spartan service centers will replace the current air supply reservoir with one that has twice the capacity, free of charge. The recall began on February 16, 2018. Owners may contact Spartan Chassis at 1-800-543-4277 or Entegra customer service at 1-800-517-9137.

ON JULY 6TH, 2018 ABOUT 11:30 AM, I EXPERIENCED A FRONT PASSENGER BLOWOUT ON MY 2016 CLASS A MOTORHOME. MY RV WAS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR G670 TIRES 295/80R22.5 THAT CAME ON IT AT PURCHASE. TRAVELING EAST ON I-10 JUST BEFORE BAYTOWN, TEXAS. DRIVING AT 62 MPH ON A DRY SUNNY DAY THE TIRE BLEW. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I WERE INJURED BUT, THE EXPERIENCE WILL LAST A LIFE TIME, THE TIRE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF OUTER DAMAGE AND I ONLY HAD JUST OVER 20K MILES ON THE TIRES. THE BLOWOUT CAUSE THE RV TO STEER HARD AND FAST RIGHT SENDING THE RV ACROSS ONE LANE AS I FOUGHT TO KEEP IT FROM STRAIGHT. IT LEFT THE FREEWAY HEADING ACROSS THE DITCH TO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD. IN MY FIGHT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO A STOP DOWN THE CENTER OF A DITCH. ONCE THE RV WAS RECURRED, TIRE REMOVE I TOOK WHAT WAS LEFT TO THE GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER IN BAYTOWN ON I-10 TO MAKE A CLAIM. NOT HEARING FROM THEM AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, I VISITED THE CENTER AND MADE 2 CALLS OF INQUIRY. TODAY IS APRIL 1ST, 2019 AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE CENTER OR GOODYEAR. THE BLOWOUT DAMAGE COST OVER 60K DOLLARS.

I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION INTO OUR GOODYEAR STEER TIRES ON OUT MOTORCOACHES BECAUSE OF BLOWOUTS! THE WEIGHT RATING ON THESE TIRES FOR THE WEIGHT CARRIED UP FRONT IS AT LIMIT OR OVER! I HAVE SCALED MINE RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS SLIGHTLY OVER TIRE WEIGHT RATING! ENTEGRA REALIZED THERE MISTAKE INTO LATER YEARS AND CHANGED TO A HIGHER WEIGHT RATED TIRE. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD HAVE MADE THEM CHANGE THESE TIRES AND NO HIGHWAY DEATHS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. IF I WOULD HAVE PUT UNDERRATED TIRES ONTO OUR TRUCKING COMPANY TRUCKS AND CAUSED HIGHWAY FATALITY YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. COME ON GUYS, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL!
