What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E RV) is recalling certain model year 2014 Free Spirit FS22, FS22SS, and FS22TE motorhomes manufactured September 2013 through March 2014. In the affected vehicles, the spare tire carrier and spare tire cover obstructs the visibility of the driver's side taillight.

The risk

If the driver's side taillight is obstructed, drivers behind the vehicle may not see the motorhome's intention to turn left, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Triple E RV will notify owners, and dealers will replace the old tire carrier with a newly designed one, free of charge. The recallbegan on April 9, 2014. Owners may contact Triple E RV at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E RV's number associated with this recall is CA#7841-1.

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.

A 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.
