Airstream Inc. has announced NHTSA recall 15V336000, which involves certain model-year 2015-2016 Airstream Interstate NCV3 B motorhomes manufactured from August 1, 2014, to May 18, 2015. The potential number of affected motorhomes is 232.
In the affected motorhomes, if the screen door is in the closed position and the vehicle’s curbside sliding door is closed, motorhome occupants may not be able to move the screen door in order to open the sliding door to exit the vehicle. If occupants cannot open the sliding door in an emergency, they would be at increased risk of injury.
The recall began in June 2015. Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will attach a stop on the screen door to prevent the sliding door from shutting if the screen door is closed. For more information, contact Airstream customer service at (937) 596-6111, extension 7401 or 7411.
Entegra Coach has announced NHTSA recall 15V395000, which involves certain model-year 2015 Aspire motorhomes manufactured from October 24, 2013, to February 11, 2015. The potential number of affected vehicles is 24.
In the affected units, fasteners that attach the stay rod (v-rod) to the rear drive axle may not have been installed with threadlocker (a thread-locking fluid) or tightened in the correct sequence. If the fasteners come loose, the stay rod may disconnect from the rear axle, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Entegra will notify owners. Fasteners will be replaced using threadlocker, and fasteners will be tightened in the proper sequence with the required torque. For more information, contact Spartan Motors customer service at (855) 589-9836.
Newmar Corporation has announced NHTSA recall 15V375000, which involves certain model-year 2015 Essex and King Aire motorhomes manufactured from March 26, 2014, to December 4, 2014. The potential number of affected vehicles is 57.
In the affected motorhomes, tag axle suspension hangers may move, allowing the tag axle assembly to shift off-center. If the tag axle moves off-center, vehicle handling may be affected suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Newmar has notified owners. In the affected vehicles, tag axle suspension hangers will be welded to the chassis frame. For more information, contact Spartan Motors customer service at (855) 589-9836.
