Entegra Coach has announced NHTSA recall 14V615000, which involves certain model-year 2015 Anthem and Aspire motorhomes manufactured from July 18, 2014, to September 17, 2014. The potential number of affected vehicles is 38.
In the affected vehicles, manufactured on a Spartan chassis, the Cummins ISB or ISL engines may have been equipped with Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters, part number FF63009. The filter shell might separate from the fuel filter nut plate, causing the engine to stall without warning and increasing the risk of a crash.
Entegra will notify owners, and Spartan Chassis dealers will work with Cummins to replace the fuel filter. The repair is expected to take one hour; however, because of service scheduling times, the service department may need the vehicle for a longer period of time.
