What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain 2019 Triple E Unity motorhomes, models U24MB, U24CBB, U24TB, U24IX and U24FX. The driver-side front trans-mount leveling jack support bracket may contact the brake line causing a brake fluid leak, thereby reducing braking ability.

The risk

A reduction in braking ability can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Triple E will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the leveling jack support bracket, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 20, 2018. Owners may contact Triple E customer service at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this recall is CA#9146-1.

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.
