Defect description
Entegra Coach (Entegra) is recalling certain model year 2015 and 2016 Cornerstone Class A motorhomes, models 45B, 45J and 45K, manufactured from February 24, 2014, through August 18, 2015, and built on a Spartan Chassis. The affected motorhomes have rear jack plates that may rub on the tag axle brake air hose when the plates are retracted.
Safety risk
If the rear jack plates rub on the air brake hose, an air leak may occur when the brake pedal is being pressed, reducing the braking performance of both the drive axle and the tag axle, lengthening the distance needed to stop the motorhome and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Entegra will notify owners on behalf of Spartan, and dealers will reposition the tag axle brake air hose so that it is clear of the jack plate, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2015. Owners may contact Entegra customer service at 1-800-945-4787.
