The defect
Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain model year 2014 Libero motorhomes, model L24CB, manufactured November 2013 through February 2014, and model year 2014 Serenity motorhomes, model S24CB, manufactured September 2013 through February 2014. The affected vehicles were built with taillight clearance lights with lower wattage bulbs. As such, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
The lower wattage bulbs may decrease the visibility of the motorhome and thus increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lower wattage bulbs with new higher wattage bulbs, free of charge. The recall began on May 22, 2014. Owners may contact Triple E at 1-204-325-4361. Triple E's number for this recall is CA#7842-1.
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.
